Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs broccoli
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp paprika
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, freshly grated
- 1 to serve lemon wedges
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (approximately 400°F). If using a grill pan, place it on the stove over medium-high heat.
Wash the broccoli and cut it into bite-sized florets. Pat them dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together to make a flavorful marinade.
Add the broccoli florets to the bowl and toss well to ensure all pieces are evenly coated with the marinade.
Place the broccoli on the preheated grill (or grill pan) in a single layer. Cook for 6-8 minutes, turning occasionally with tongs, until the broccoli is tender and slightly charred.
Remove the broccoli from the grill and transfer it to a serving plate.
Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese generously over the hot broccoli so it melts slightly.
Serve immediately with fresh lemon wedges on the side for an optional bright, tangy finish.
