- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper

Instructions
Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.

While the broccoli is grilling, zest the lemon and then juice it. Set aside.
Remove the grilled broccoli from the grill and place it back into the large bowl.
Add the lemon juice, lemon zest, and chopped parsley to the grilled broccoli. Toss to combine.
Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary. Transfer the broccoli to a serving platter.
