Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large broccoli heads
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 whole lemon
- 3 garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Instructions
Start by preheating your grill to medium-high heat.
Cut the broccoli heads into florets, making sure to keep the florets as uniform in size as possible for even cooking.
In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, juice of the lemon, minced garlic cloves, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes.
Add the broccoli florets to the bowl and toss them until they are well coated with the oil and seasoning mixture.
Once the grill is preheated, place the broccoli florets directly on the grill grates.
Grill the broccoli for about 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are tender and have nice grill marks.
Remove the grilled broccoli from the grill and arrange them on a serving plate.
Optionally, garnish the grilled broccoli with lemon zest or extra red pepper flakes before serving.
Serve the grilled broccoli warm as a side dish or enjoy them on their own as a flavorful and healthy snack.
