Sauteed broccolini is cooked with garlic and butter until vibrant green, tender-crisp, and topped with fresh lemon zest and juice. It’s one of the fastest and tastiest side dishes that you can make in 10 minutes.
Chop off the tough thick stem on the lower part of the stem.
Use a large skillet. Melt butter and olive oil in the skillet.
Saute garlic for 30 seconds while stirring constantly.
Add tender broccolini to the skillet. Cook on medium flame while stirring regularly for 3 to 5 minutes.
You can cover the skillet and cook the broccolini until it’s tender. Add a splash of water to cook broccolini. This step is optional.
Once broccolini is fork-tender, season it with salt and freshly ground pepper. Add red chili flakes for added heat (you can skip them if you don’t want a kick in your dish).
Turn off the flame. Add the zest of 1 lemon and 1 tablespoon of freshly squeezed lemon juice to the skillet. Stir thoroughly.
Serve immediately with any meals of your choice.
