Broccolini

Dear Readers,

Roasted broccolini is a great side dish to the pork and apples. Broccolini provides vitamin A, vitamin C, calcium, and iron. This nutritious vegetable is very easy to prepare. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. After you wash the broccolini lay it on a baking dish and add 3 teaspoons of olive oil, 3 gloves fresh garlic roughly chopped, 1 tsp of ground sea salt, and 1 tsp of ground pepper. Toss together and cook the broccolini for 25 minutes or until tender. Do not cover the baking dish. I usually serve this vegetable with a fresh squeeze of lemon.

Note: 1 bunch on broccolini serves 2-3 people
