Delicious - cooked for 10 minutes & bits were crispy and bits were still crunchy.

Easy preparation, okay outcome and nice flavor . Broccolini wasn’t super charred - I think cooking on the stove works better

As others have said, this is a very easy, tasty way to prepare broccolini. I didn't even mind eating the very thin slices of lemon. I used broccolini from the farmers' market with any thicker stems sliced or removed to avoid chewy bits.

An easy and delicious recipe that adds a little more excitement than typical roasted broccolini. The frico bits add both to texture and flavor, even better with some chile flakes tossed with the cheese — but watch the salt. Mine took 5” more to achieve the right balance of char and doneness.

This is so simple yet so tasty! And I don't even like broccoli... I used baby broccoli from my CSA. Delicious! https://forums.egullet.org/topic/157248-cooking-from-dining-in-by-alison-roman/?do=findComment&comment=2415636

This was delicious. Used broccolini fresh from the farmer's market. I loved the hints of lemon and saltiness from the cheese. I kept mine in the oven a little longer for some more char..

This was an excellent side for tuna casserole. One bunch of broccolini seemed to be enough with other ingredients as written.

I made this with broccolini and sliced a whole Meyer lemon, using a second lemon for the juice at the end. It was excellent. The Parmesan adds a great umami note. Next time I will cook on parchment paper for easier clean-up. This is another stellar recipe from this book!

Great weeknight veggie side. I used regular broccoli and it was delicious. Kids loved the Parmesan.

I couldn't find broccolini so I used the option of broccoli. I couldn't stop eating this. My daughter enjoyed it too.

I liked the flavors here but my broccolini charred a bit too much for my family's taste. I will make this again with regular broccoli, as I think the texture might be better.
