Directions
Place the broccolini in a large bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon (15 ml / 0.5 fl oz) of the avocado oil, the lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
Pour the marinade over the broccolini and toss until evenly coated.
Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon (15 ml / 0.5 fl oz) of oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat.
Once shimmering, add the broccolini in a single layer.
Cook for 5-7 minutes, tossing occasionally, until charred in spots and crisp-tender.
Transfer the broccolini to a serving plate and drizzle with any juices left in the pan.
Place the lemon halves cut-side down in the hot skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes, until lightly charred.
Serve the charred lemon halves with the broccolini for squeezing over the top.
Do not overcrowd the skillet.
Cook in two batches if necessary to ensure the broccolini chars properly instead of steaming.
Add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the marinade for a touch of heat.
