This is my favorite way to prep and cook broccolini! Quickly cook a trimmed bunch in hot salted water until it's perfectly crisp-tender. It's an easy side dish that can be on the table in less than 15 minutes, or prepped and refrigerated to use during the week.

Bring 4-6 quarts of water to a boil in a large saucepan or pot. Add ¼ cup salt.
Prep the broccolini: Trim off the very bottom of the broccolini stems (about ½-inch). Slice off the florets. Halve any florets that are bigger than 3 inches wide. Slice the stalks into approximately 1 ½-2-inch pieces.
Drop the broccolini into the boiling water and cook 2 minutes. Drain immediately, then transfer to a serving bowl.
Pour the olive oil over the broccolini and toss gently with tongs. Squeeze the lemon wedges over. Serve warm or at room temperature.
