Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 stalks Scallions (green onions)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.5 whole Lemon
Instructions
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Rinse the scallions under cold water to remove any dirt and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Trim about 1 inch off the root ends of the scallions, leaving them intact so they don’t fall apart.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, salt, and black pepper.
Brush the scallions generously with the seasoned olive oil, making sure they are evenly coated.
Place the scallions directly on the preheated grill grates or grill pan, positioning them perpendicular to the grates to prevent them from falling through.
Grill the scallions for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they develop light char marks and are tender but not mushy.
Remove the scallions from the grill and transfer them to a serving plate.
Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the top of the grilled scallions for a burst of acidity and extra flavor.
Serve warm as a side dish or use as a topping for your favorite main dishes. Enjoy!
