Ingredients
- 1 bunch broccolini (about ¾ pound)
- ¼ cup Asian sweet chili sauce
- 2 teaspoons sesame oil
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 pinch salt
- Cooking spray
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Spray a large rimmed baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray.
- Trim the rough ends from the broccolini and slice any thick stems in half lengthwise for even cooking.
- Spread broccolini in a single layer on the baking sheet. Sprinkle lightly with salt.
- Roast for 10 minutes, until tender and starting to crisp at the edges.
- While the broccolini roasts, whisk together the sweet chili sauce, sesame oil, and garlic powder in a small bowl.
- Remove the broccolini from the oven and immediately brush with the prepared sweet chili glaze.
- Serve warm as a side dish.
Notes
- Do not glaze the broccolini before roasting, or it will become soggy.
- Best enjoyed fresh from the oven for optimal crispiness.
- Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 4–5 days, though the texture may soften. Enjoy cold in salads or reheat in a skillet or air fryer.
