Skillet Charred Broccolini with Toasted Almonds
Broccolini seared in a hot camp skillet, finished with toasted almonds and a squeeze of lemon—a quick, nutrient-dense side with irresistible crunch and flavor.
Equipment
- Cast iron skillet
- Tongs
- zester or grater
Ingredients
- 1 bunch broccolini trimmed
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/4 cup sliced almonds
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
Instructions
- Heat oil in skillet over campfire or stove. Add broccolini in a single layer and cook 6–7 minutes, turning, until charred and just tender.
- Add almonds and toast 2–3 minutes, stirring, until fragrant and golden.
- Finish with lemon zest and salt. Toss and serve hot.
- Optional: Add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice for brightness.
Notes
Broccolini cooks quickly and packs well in a cooler. Toast almonds in advance for less camp stove time if desired.
