Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound broccolini
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves
- 1 lemon
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions
Rinse the broccolini and trim the ends if necessary. Pat dry with paper towels.
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes.
Place the broccolini in a large bowl or a zip-lock bag and pour the olive oil mixture over it, tossing to ensure even coating.
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Once the grill is hot, arrange the broccolini in a single layer directly on the grill grates.
Grill the broccolini for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they have grill marks and are tender-crisp. Use tongs to turn them gently.
While the broccolini is grilling, cut the lemon in half and prepare to squeeze the juice over the broccolini once done.
Once the broccolini is cooked, remove it from the grill and arrange it on a serving platter.
Immediately squeeze fresh lemon juice over the grilled broccolini.
If desired, sprinkle the broccolini with grated Parmesan cheese before serving.
Serve hot and enjoy your flavorful grilled broccolini!
