Total Time:20 mins
Servings: 4

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!
