Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Broccolini
- 2 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 4 units Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 unit Lemon, juiced
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Freshly ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons Red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
Rinse the broccolini under cold water and pat dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Trim any rough ends of the broccolini stalks and, if necessary, cut them into uniform lengths to ensure even cooking.
In a large bowl, combine the broccolini, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes if using. Toss everything together until the broccolini is well coated.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Place the broccolini on the grill, ensuring it is spread out evenly. You can use a grill basket if you prefer.
Grill the broccolini for 4-5 minutes on each side, until they are tender and have developed a nice char.
While the broccolini is grilling, prepare the lemon dressing by squeezing the juice of one lemon into a small bowl. Add the lemon zest and whisk to combine.
Once the broccolini is done grilling, transfer it to a serving platter.
Drizzle the lemon dressing over the broccolini and toss gently to coat.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Sugar-Free Grilled Broccolini with Lemon and Garlic.
