• active time: 5 minutes
• total time: 15 minutes

Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil or avocado oil

1 bunch (8 ounces) broccolini, leaves removed and ½ inch trimmed off stalk ends

1 garlic clove, minced or pressed

¼ teaspoon fine salt

Pinch of black pepper

1 tablespoons water

½ small lemon, juiced (about 2 teaspoons)

Optional for garnish: Flakey salt and crushed red pepper flakes

Directions

Place a 10-12 inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add oil. When the oil is hot, swirl it around the skillet, then add the broccolini. Toss with tongs to coat in the oil.

Cook for 3-4 minutes or until broccolini is vibrant in color with a little charring.

Add the garlic, salt, and pepper; toss. Cook for 30 seconds.

Add the water and cover immediately with the lid. Reduce the heat to a low. Cook until broccolini stalks are tender, 3 to 4 minutes.

Remove the skillet from the heat and squeeze lemon juice over the broccolini.

Garnish with flakey salt and crushed red pepper flakes, if desired.

Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
