Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Broccolini
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 units Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Rinse the broccolini under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Trim about 1-2 inches off the ends of the stalks to remove any tough parts.
In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Whisk together until well mixed.
Add the broccolini to the bowl and toss to coat the stalks evenly with the marinade.
Place the broccolini on the preheated grill in a single layer. Close the lid and grill for about 4-5 minutes.
Flip the broccolini and continue grilling for an additional 4-5 minutes, or until the stems are tender and slightly charred.
Remove from the grill and transfer to a serving platter.
Optionally, sprinkle with a little extra lemon zest before serving for an added burst of flavor.
Serve immediately as a delicious low-carb side dish!
