This recipe has saved me lots of time when I wasn’t sure what to put as a side dish. Also, it is one of my favourite since I have started my journey to go back to my pre-baby weight (yup, it is a journey…).
I enjoy broccolinis more than the regular broccolis. I usually get them from a wholesaler in a big bag and they don’t last very long.
They are a great side dish. They go well with meat, fish, salad, etc.
What is the difference between broccoli and broccolini?
Broccolis have thicker, crisp stems. They have a grassy, earthy flavour that’s mildly bitter. They can be steamed, sautéed, roasted, stir-fried or even pureed into a sauce.
Broccolini is not baby broccoli. This lengthy vegetable is a hybrid that is a cross between broccoli and Chinese broccoli. Broccolini is more mild, with a sweet, earthy taste. It can either be eaten raw or cooked , sautéed, steamed, roasted and grilled.
How to make grilled broccolini in 10 min?
This recipe requires very little ingredients. I used salad, pepper, lemon zest, garlic and grated parmesan. This is all you need to give it a nice aroma and great taste.
Preheat the oven at 350F.
In a bowl or directly on your baking sheet, lay the broccolinis in a single layer.
Sprinkle them with salt and pepper, a dash of olive oil and the zest of a lime or lemon.
Toss all of them together to ensure that each broccolini is covered with the spices.
Put the baking sheet in the oven for 10 min.
After 5 minutes in the oven, use prongs to turn the broccolinis on the other side.
After 10 minutes, remove them immediately from the oven. Otherwise, they will burn! I have learned from experience. 🙂
