Ingredients
- 500 grams Broccolini
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 units Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Step 2
Rinse the broccolini under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Trim about 1-2 inches off the ends of the stalks to remove any tough parts.
Step 3
In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Whisk together until well mixed.
Step 4
Add the broccolini to the bowl and toss to coat the stalks evenly with the marinade.
Step 5
Place the broccolini on the preheated grill in a single layer. Close the lid and grill for about 4-5 minutes.
Step 6
Flip the broccolini and continue grilling for an additional 4-5 minutes, or until the stems are tender and slightly charred.
Step 7
Remove from the grill and transfer to a serving platter.
Step 8
Optionally, sprinkle with a little extra lemon zest before serving for an added burst of flavor.
Step 9
Serve immediately as a delicious low-carb side dish!
