# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The high heat roasting transforms broccolini into something caramelized and sweet while keeping a satisfying crunch
  • Lime and garlic create this restaurant quality flavor combination with ingredients you probably already have
02 -
  • Crowding the pan is the fastest way to steam instead of roast, give the vegetables space and use two pans if needed
  • Letting the broccolini sit in the lime garlic mixture for even 10 minutes before roasting makes a huge difference in flavor penetration
03 -
  • Trim the broccolini stems at an angle rather than straight across for a more elegant presentation
  • If your broccolini stems are thick, use a vegetable peeler to remove the tough outer layer before roasting
