Quotations
Once the broccolini are cool, you have to get them very dry, so let them drain in a colander, spin them in a salad spinner, dab them with paper towels, or even drive around the block a few times holding them out the window…just get them superdry.

To increase the umami taste, splash 1 Tbsp of soy or tamari sauce on the broccolini once they’re cooked, and swap the fine salt out for an umami-infused salt. […] The broccolini are spread out between two baking sheets to prevent overcrowding.
