Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Rinse the broccolini under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.
Trim any tough ends of the broccolini stalks to ensure even cooking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using).
Add the broccolini to the bowl and toss well to coat evenly with the marinade.
Once the grill is hot, lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Place the broccolini on the grill in a single layer, perpendicular to the grates to prevent them from falling through.
Grill the broccolini for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are tender and have charred grill marks.
Transfer the grilled broccolini to a serving platter.
Sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the broccolini for added freshness.
Serve immediately as a side dish or a light appetizer.
