Lemon Garlic Broccolini

Katelin

I can’t remember if I was a kid that hated broccoli (Hey mom, did I hate broccoli?). But I feel like that’s a very common thing. As an adult I just don’t get it. I loooooove broccoli. Like I could eat it for every meal. I even have a tattoo of it. JK, it’s a tree, but I have been told it looks like broccoli and I’m cool with that. 



Anyway, I make a lot of broccoli. Just plain old roasted broccoli. And I never get sick of it. But recently I found a new obsession after my birthday dinner at Jovannina’s Broken Italian here in Denver where we had lemon broccolini and it was soooo good. Like too good to be a vegetable, and it wasn’t even fried. So I had to try and recreate it and after a couple attempts I think this is pretty damn close. I didn’t put Parmesan on this batch because I ran out but I would 1000% recommend adding it if you are a dairy eater. Now go make it 😁
