broccoletti

Sauteed baby broccoli, or broccolini is an easy, healthy vegetable side dish that only takes about 15 minutes to make. 

Sauteed Baby Broccoli (Broccoletti) with Lemon and Garlic

broccolini (baby broccoli, broccoletti)

garlic

lemon (zest of whole, juice of half, slices for garnish)

olive oil

red pepper flakes

water

salt

Cut off the bottom half inch of the stalks of washed and dried broccolini.

Smash garlic cloves and remove papery skin. Zest lemon and set aside the lemon zest.

Heat a large skillet or saute pan over medium heat and add olive oil. Add in whole smashed garlic cloves and saute for about a minute until they become fragrant.

Add broccolini to skillet and use tongs to toss and coat. Saute for 4-5 minutes until it starts to turn bright green and the tips on the florets pick up a little bit of char. Season with a little bit of salt.

Carefully add water to the pan and immediately cover with a tight fitting lid. Steam for 2-3 minutes until crisp tender. Open the lid and squeeze over the juice of half a lemon. Season with more salt to taste if necessary.

Transfer to a serving dish and sprinkle with lemon zest, red pepper flakes and a drizzle of good olive oil. Garnish with the other half of the lemon cut into slices.

I made this with some crusty garlic bread and noodles and the family loved it! I was shocked that even my toddler who hates broccoli loved it. That being said, this is my new go to recipe for broccoli. Thanks Jess!

Perfect easy side! I served this baby broccoli with roasted fish and dinner was done!

Broccoli is one of my favorite vegetables and I love how it is prepared on this recipe. So fresh and delicious!

I could have eaten the entire pan of broccoletti but my family would have surely disapproved. The marriage of lemon and garlic was truly divine.

Jessica, I tried your sautéed baby broccoli recipe and it was a game changer for our veggie game! The garlic and red pepper flakes added the perfect punch of flavor. My family gobbled it up in no time. Thanks for making healthy eating so delicious!

I served this sauteed baby broccoli recipe this weekend as a side to grilled chicken and my friends were more in love with it than the main course! It was so easy and tasty thanks to that lemon and garlic!
