Lemon Basil Broccolini

This is a super easy, quick green-veggie side dish.  As a momma, it is super important to me that my kids have a vegetable at every meal and this one is an easy go-to that adds a lot of nutrition and taste to their plates. It has also been a huge hit over the years with my vegan and vegetarian friends!

Lemon Basil Broccolini

Ingredients:

  • 2 tbs. butter or olive oil
  • 1 bunch broccolini
  • Half a lemon
  • 2 tbs. dried basil
  • Salt and pepper

In a skillet over medium-high heat, melt your butter, or heat your oil.  Add the broccolini to the pan, season with salt pepper and half of the basil (or more to taste).  Using tongs, toss to coat. Juice the lemon half over the broccolini.  Toss again.  Season once more with salt, pepper and the remaining basil.  Continue to toss and saute until broccolini are desired tenderness.
