Ingredients
- 1 bunch broccolini
- 1 tbsp coconut oil
- 2 cloves garlic thinly sliced
- 1 tsp Himalayan salt to taste
- 1 tsp ground black pepper to taste
- ¼ tsp red pepper flakes
- lemon wedges to garnish
Instructions
- Prep your Broccolini: Rinse your broccolini under cool water. Shake and pat your florets dry and then snip about 1" off of the end of each of the stems.
- Sauté your Broccolini: Set a skillet onto med-high heat and add your coconut oil. Once the oil is hot and shimmering, add the broccolini and toss to coat in the oil. Let cook for 5-7 minutes, turning and moving them around the pan every few minutes to ensure an even cook. They should be a vibrant green color.
- Season: Turn off the heat and add the garlic and season to taste with salt and pepper then cover your pan and allow the broccolini to rest for 2-3 minutes and steam just a little. Using a sharp knife, gently pierce the base of the stalks. If they are tender, your broccolini is done.
- Garnish and Serve: Garnish with wedges of lemon and serve your broccolini immediately.
- Storage: If there are any leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for 4-5 days.
