Ingredients

1 lb broccolini

1 tbsp olive oil

2 garlic cloves, minced

1 lemon

1 pinch red pepper flakes

Black pepper

Flaky salt

Kosher salt

Instructions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the broccolini with a pinch of kosher salt.

Step 2

Cook until the stalks are crisp-tender and the tops are charred in spots, adding a splash of water if the pan gets too dry.

Step 3

Stir in the garlic for the last 30 seconds so it blooms without burning.

Step 4

Finish with lemon zest, lemon juice, red pepper flakes, flaky salt, and black pepper.
