Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups broccoli florets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 large garlic cloves
- 1 medium lemon
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Rinse the broccoli florets under cold water and drain well. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.
Zest the lemon and set the zest aside. Then, cut the lemon in half and squeeze the juice into a small bowl.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the broccoli florets with the olive oil, minced garlic, half of the lemon juice, sea salt, and black pepper. Toss well to ensure the broccoli is evenly coated.
Place the broccoli florets in a grilling basket or directly on the grill grates. Grill them for 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the broccoli is tender and slightly charred.
Transfer the grilled broccoli to a serving platter.
Drizzle the remaining lemon juice over the broccoli and sprinkle with lemon zest.
Serve immediately as a savory side dish.
