Name: Keto Zone Baked Broccolini
Prep time: 5 min
Cook time: 15 min
Total time: 20 min
Ingredients: 3/4 lb organic broccolini; 2 tbsp organic olive oil (or avocado oil); 2 tbsp lemon juice (freshly squeezed); 1/2 tsp sea salt; 1/8 tsp black pepper

Broccolini is not baby broccoli, despite the nickname. It is a cross between broccoli and gai lan, and it has thinner stalks that cook through in the time it takes the florets to char, which is exactly why it roasts better than broccoli does.

Five ingredients and twenty minutes. It goes with fish, chicken or steak and asks nothing of you while it cooks.

One correction worth noting: the published calorie count of 195 was roughly double. Three quarters of a pound of broccolini and two tablespoons of oil across four servings comes to about 91 calories.
