    Ingredients 

    • 1  bunch broccolini
    • 2 teaspoon olive oil
    • 2 garlic crushed
    • ½ teaspoon kosher salt or sea salt
    • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
    • ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes optional
    • 1 tablespoon water
    • Parmigiano Reggiano grated, optional
    • lemon wedges optional
    Prevent your screen from going dark

    Instructions

    • Prepare the broccolini - Trim a half-inch off the bottom of the broccolini stems.
      1  bunch broccolini
    • Prepare garlic - Use the side of your knife to slightly crush the whole garlic cloves. Crushing the garlic releases the garlic oil into the cooking oil. Leaving the garlic whole prevents the clove from burning.
      2 garlic, 2 teaspoon olive oil
    • Cook garlic and broccolini - Add oil and garlic cloves to a skillet over medium heat. When the oil shimmers, add broccolini and sauté for 5 minutes, turning the broccolini over with tongs halfway through. The broccolini will turn bright green and some of the florets become charred.
    • Season and steam - Use tongs to remove the garlic. Toss broccolini with salt and optional black pepper or red pepper flakes. Add the water, cover with a lid, and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
      ½ teaspoon kosher salt or sea salt, ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, 1 tablespoon water
    • Serve - Serve immediately with lemon wedges and top with Parmigiano-Reggiano if desired.
      lemon wedges, Parmigiano Reggiano

    Notes

    Storage
    • Store leftover garlic broccolini in an air-tight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Broccolini doesn't stand up well to freezing. To reheat leftovers in the oven, heat oven to 350 degrees F and place the broccolini on a baking sheet. Bake in the oven for 5-7 minutes.
    • To heat the broccolini on the stovetop, add a drizzle of olive oil to a skillet on low-medium heat. Place the broccolini in a single layer in the skillet and cook until warm, or about 3-5 minutes.
    Top Tips
    • Cook in a single layer - Cook broccolini in a single layer on the pan so the vegetables cook evenly and do not get soggy.
    • Season well - Generously season broccolini with olive oil, kosher or sea salt, pepper, and red pepper. This recipe is very versatile and flexible, so you can season with your favorite spices too!
