I’m so grateful to have access to my summer farmers market and the amazing produce that is available to us. As I wandered around this past weekend I spotted beautiful broccolini that I was just sure would be fantastic in this roasted broccolini recipe with lemon and Parmesan cheese.
I love the tanginess of the lemon combined with the crisp taste of roasted garlic and Parmesan in this high-protein vegetable side dish recipe. This roasted broccolini is ready in just 25 minutes and is the perfect side dish to just about any kind of protein.
Variation: This vegetable recipe can also be made with broccoli if that is what you have on hand. So don’t let lack of broccolini stop you from enjoying this wonderful vegetarian side dish with your dinner!
Here are the wholesome gluten-free ingredients you will need for this broccolini recipe: fresh broccolini (read about the health benefits of broccolini), fresh lemons (check out the health benefits of lemons), fresh garlic, olive oil and Parmesan cheese (Parmesan cheese has health benefits).
Serve the crisp-tender lemony Parmesan broccolini as a side dish with chicken, pork, turkey, lamb, beef, venison or seafood. You could even chop and toss the broccolini into grain salads or pasta salads.
