Notes
- Substitute broccolini for broccoli (or really any vegetable), just cut into equal sized pieces, and you may need to cook it a bit longer.
- You can make more for leftovers or more people, but if possible just make it fresh because it's best and crispy that way.
- Other great add-ins: Italian seasoning + lemon, top with parmesan cheese after cooking, Herbs de Provence + lemon, etc.
