Roasted Brocolini

I made this DELICIOUS and extremely easy dish for dinner tonight after having a very late lunch, so I wasnt too hungry but knew I wanted to eat something to top off Memorial Day Weekend.  I bought a bunch of brocolini at the Farmers Market on Sunday so thought I would roast it in the oven with some good spices for an easy and delicious meal.
Heres what I did:
Pre-heat the oven at 420
Prewashed the brocolini and trimmed the stems just a little bit. 
Cut up some garlic into slices
Put the brocolini and garlic slices in a bowl and poured a little Extra Virgin Olive Oil over them.  I then added two new sea salts that Wheeler and I bought at the Ferry Building Farmers Market on Saturday. One flavor was a chili flavored salt and the other was a dried lemon salt.  I added a little bit of both and then a few chili pepper flakes (i wanted a little zing to my din), tossed and put it on a pan that had tin foil over it (easier for clean up) and put it in the oven at 420 degrees.  I kept an eye on the brocolini but I wanted the brocolini to char and be a litte cripsy.  I tossed the dish once while in the oven and probably took it out after 20 min. of being in the oven.  Once out I squeezed a very small lemon wedge on my dish and enjoyed a VERY easy and deliciously light meal. 
ENJOY!!
