Broccolini, AKA baby broccoli, is similar to broccoli but with thinner, longer stalks and smaller clumps of florets. It's not bitter like broccoli rabe and roasts quite fast, making it an easy last-minute veggie side dish. After washing the broccolini, you'll need to shake out as much water as possible and then pat it dry with a kitchen towel. If your broccolini is wet, it will steam in the oven instead of browning, and you really want those nice caramelized bits for the most flavor. Also, if your broccolini stalks are thick, you can halve them to speed up the cooking time.
