Vegan: Roasted Broccolini with Lemon

roasted broccolini

Shameer and I love roasted broccoli. When I was growing up, my mom made roasted broccoli pretty often with salt, pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil. When I moved to California, I made it pretty often as a side dish for Shameer and I. A couple days ago, I impulsively bought some broccolini when I was shopping at our local Trader Joes. They were restocking them on the shelves, and it looked really fresh and delicious. I’m really glad I did, because they turned out great. I tried to keep the recipe as close to my mom’s as possible, but changed a few things up in the name of health .

As my mom would say, Manja!
