Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Broccolini
- 200 grams Asparagus
- 1 medium Zucchini
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 large Lemon
- 2 large Garlic cloves
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Thoroughly wash and trim the broccolini and asparagus. Cut the zucchini into thick slices about 1/2 inch thick.
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, the juice and zest of the lemon, minced garlic cloves, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to create a marinade.
Place the broccolini, asparagus, and zucchini in a large mixing bowl. Pour the marinade over the vegetables and toss to coat evenly.
Place the vegetables on the preheated grill in a single layer. Grill for about 5 minutes on each side, or until the vegetables are tender and have charred grill marks.
Once grilled, remove the vegetables from the heat and let them cool slightly.
Transfer the grilled greens to a serving platter. Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the top for garnish.
Serve warm as a delicious sugar-free side dish.
