Hey-o!!! It’s the second day of my Ultimate Vegan Thanksgiving, as well as just a really awesome side dish. By the way, you can check out my Instagram to see how this whole dinner comes together!
Crispy Oven roasted Broccolini with just a touch of lemon! I could eat a whole pound of broccolini, simply dressed in olive oil, lemon and kosher salt by myself- but the sauce is absolutely amazing. You could add any combo of herbs to the sauce: chives, parsley, basil, cilantro- they are all delicious.
So with the sauce, I could probably eat two pounds. Seriously.
Whether or not you want to try this out for Thanksgiving or a Tuesday night- this is a simple and very delicious veggie dish that will make you happy you made it!
