Easy Garlic Broccolini
Easy Garlic Broccolini is a simple vegetable side prepared by blanching broccolini briefly, then sautéing it with sliced garlic in olive oil. The quick cooking preserves a tender-crisp texture with bright green color. A pinch of kosher salt and optional red pepper flakes add subtle seasoning and warmth.
