Roasted Broccolini With Nori Salt Recipe

Transforming green veggies into something crave-worthy is as easy as throwing them in the oven to roast. This method works especially well with broccolini, which is a bit milder in flavor than regular broccoli—the tops crisp up and the stalks get tender.  Here, traditional Japanese flavors of coconut aminos, nori, and sesame take the dish up a notch.
