Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large head broccoli
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Wash and pat dry the broccoli. Cut it into evenly sized florets, with some stem attached.
In a large mixing bowl, toss the broccoli florets with olive oil until they are well coated.
Sprinkle broccoli with black pepper and garlic powder, then toss again to distribute the spices.
Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Add the coated broccoli to the pan in a single layer; do not overcrowd the pan to ensure even charring.
Cook the broccoli for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until they are tender and nicely charred, turning occasionally to achieve an even char.
Once charred, remove the broccoli from the heat and transfer it to a serving dish.
Drizzle the broccoli with lemon juice and sprinkle with red pepper flakes and chopped fresh parsley.
Serve immediately as a side dish or a healthy snack.
