About
Roasting is a fast and easy way to get more veggies into your diet. It’s simple to arrange vegetables on a baking sheet and pop them in the oven. This lemon, garlic and olive oil combo is a great go to for any vegetables, but lends itself especially to broccolini and asparagus. If you can’t find broccolini, feel free to substitute broccoli florets.
Ingredients
- 20 medium spear (5-1/4 in. to 7 in. long) asparagus
- 8 pieces broccolini by safeway farms
- 1 clove garlic
- ½ fruit (2-1/8 in. dia) lemon
- ⅓ teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat your oven for 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Cut the ends off of the broccolini and asparagus. Cut about ½” off of the broccolini and 1” from the woody ends of the asparagus.
- Grate the clove of garlic and zest a lemon into a small bowl. Add the salt and olive oil and mix together well.
- On a large baking sheet (cover with parchment if you’d like), arrange the broccolini and asparagus so they’re touching as little as possible. Drizzle the olive oil mixture on and massage the oil into the vegetables, especially into the broccolini florets.
- Roast the asparagus for about 12-15 minutes (depending on their diameter) and the broccolini for 15-20 minutes. Enjoy!
