Orange Roasted Broccolini

I have said it before, but roasting is my favorite method of cooking vegetables. It is easy to throw them in the oven while I cook the main components of a meal, and then have them ready right when everything else is. This is a nice twist on the standard roasted broccoli, and feels extra vibrant and fresh from the orange zest. Thompson loved the “extra long trees” of the broccoli, and amazingly, this is the first thing he finished on his plate.
