Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams broccolini
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 whole lemon
- 3 whole garlic cloves
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Rinse the broccolini under cold water and pat dry with a clean towel. Trim the ends of the broccolini if needed.
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes.
Finely mince the garlic cloves and add them to the bowl with the olive oil mixture. Zest the lemon and add the zest to the mixture, then cut the lemon in half and squeeze the juice from one half into the bowl. Mix everything together well.
Place the broccolini in a large mixing bowl or on a long plate and drizzle with the olive oil mixture. Toss the broccolini to ensure it's well coated with the mixture.
Once the grill is hot, place the broccolini on the grill grates in a single layer. Grill for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until the broccolini is charred and tender-crisp.
Remove the broccolini from the grill and place on a serving platter.
Squeeze the remaining lemon half over the grilled broccolini to enhance the citrus flavor.
Serve immediately as a side dish, and enjoy the fresh and vibrant flavors.
