I have been craving vegetables more and more recently- I mean, they’re like 100% of my diet anyways, but I’ve just been wanting simple, yet delicious, beautiful, crunchy veggies. I’m always trying to come up with vegan versions of dishes I used to enjoy growing up, and this one is something my Grandma made as a side pretty often.

Broccolini is one of my favorite vegetables, hands down. This tender stem broccoli is so sweet and delicious, and is honestly amazing to eat raw by itself. But lightly roasting it and serving it with some creamy lemony goat cheesy goodness makes it even better!

For the broccolini, slice it into roughly one inch pieces- using the stem, florets, leaves, and all! The whole vegetable is so tender and delicious, it’d be a sin to waste any! Toss your broccolini with extra virgin olive oil, minced garlic, sea salt, black pepper, & crushed red pepper- then spread in a single layer on a baking tray. Place the baking tray into a 450F preheated oven, and cook from 10-15 minutes. I like it when it still has a bit of crunch to it, so thats why I cook it for not a crazy amount of time- but if you like yours to be more fork tender, just keep cooking it until its to your liking! Just remember to flip it halfway, regardless of how long you’re roasting it for.

While your broccolini is roasting, you can whip up your super simple AND ALL VEGAN creamy lemon goat cheese. Trust me y’all… you’re gonna want to put this on everything. Add your cashews, lemon juice & zest, sea salt, and [starting with] 1/4 cup of filtered water to a high powered blender, and blend until smooth. While the blender is running, drizzle in more water slowly if needed. You want this to be roughly the consistency of yogurt, so that you can drizzle it over your broccolini easily. Although, if you want it thicker, add less water! Really just keep adding water slowly until it reaches your desired consistency.

Once your broccolini is ready to come out of the oven, either serve it right on the baking tray, or transfer it to a platter & generously drizzle some of your creamy lemon goat cheese on top- along with some extra lemon zest & crushed red pepper (and salt if needed).
