My Preferred Way To Cook Broccolini
We make broccolini all the time around here, and this is hands-down our favorite way to cook it. ♡
I’ve tried roasting it, grilling it, steaming it, air frying it, and plenty of different skillet methods over the years. But I keep coming back to this one because it gives you the best of both worlds: those delicious golden, lightly charred edges, plus stalks that are perfectly tender without turning soft or mushy.
The method is super simple. Let the broccolini sear in olive oil first, then add a splash of water and cover the pan for a few minutes to steam the stalks through. Garlic goes in right at the end so it stays nice and fragrant instead of burning. We usually finish ours with a squeeze of lemon and plenty of Parmesan, and it disappears quickly every time.
