Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 450 g broccolini
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tsp lemon zest
- 0.5 tsp red pepper flakes
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 3 tbsp parmesan cheese, grated (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium heat, around 375°F (190°C).
Rinse the broccolini under cold water and pat dry. Trim any tough ends from the broccolini stems.
In a large bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, lemon zest, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper.
Add broccolini to the bowl and toss until evenly coated with the oil and seasoning mixture.
Cut four large pieces of aluminum foil, approximately 12x12 inches each.
Divide the broccolini evenly among the foil pieces, arranging them in the center of each sheet.
Fold the sides of each foil sheet up and over the broccolini to form a sealed packet, leaving a bit of room for steam to circulate inside.
Place the foil packets on the preheated grill. Close the lid and cook for about 10-15 minutes, turning the packets halfway through cooking.
Carefully remove the packets from the grill and let them rest for 2 minutes before opening (use caution as the steam will be hot).
If desired, sprinkle grilled broccolini with grated parmesan cheese before serving. Serve warm as a side dish or enjoy on its own!
