Roasted Broccolini (Crispy Oven Method)
This roasted broccolini is perfectly crispy on the edges with tender, flavorful stems. After testing different methods, we found that massaging the olive oil directly into the broccolini creates the most even coating and best texture. Roasted at a high oven temperature, this simple method prevents soggy spots and delivers consistent, caramelized results every time.
Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh broccolini
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil more if needed to fully coat (sub avocado oil)
- ½ tablespoon kosher salt
Instructions
- Prep Oven: Preheat oven to 425 ℉. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- Prep Broccolini: Cut off the bottom inch or so of 1 pound fresh broccolini and discard. If a piece of broccolini is extra thick, cut in half the long way (possibly more than once if necessary) to make the pieces thinner and somewhat uniform in thickness so they all cook more evenly.
- Season: Place broccolini on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil and then use your hands to massage it into every inch (very important) - add more oil, as needed, to ensure every nook and cranny of the broccolini is coated. Sprinkle with ½ tablespoon kosher salt and repeat massaging. Spread out broccolini in an even layer across the sheet pan.
- Bake: Place in oven on middle rack and bake for 10-15 minutes - start checking at 10 minutes mark (I generally leave mine in for around 12 minutes, but every oven is different). If you want it a little more crispy or charred, place back in the oven for 2-3 minute increments - totally personal preference.
- Serve: Enjoy immediately.
Notes
- Amount of Broccolini: I kept the recipe to 1 pound of broccolini, but I know I have fit at least 2 pounds of broccolini on a large sheet pan before - super flexible recipe - of course just use more olive oil and salt and try to keep them in an even layer.
- Storage: leftover broccolini can be stored in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
- Extra crispy: If you want your broccolini extra crispy, feel free to increase cooking time up to 5 minutes.
