- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 3 units Garlic cloves
- 1 unit Lemon
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Rinse and trim the broccolini, removing any tough ends. Pat dry with a paper towel to ensure they are dry before grilling.

Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves. Zest the lemon and extract the juice, keeping both the zest and juice aside for later.

Step 4
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Step 5
Place the broccolini directly on the grill, cooking for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they have char marks and are tender-crisp.
Step 6
Once grilled, remove the broccolini and place them on a serving platter.
Step 7
Drizzle the broccolini with the fresh lemon juice and sprinkle with lemon zest.
Step 8
Serve immediately as a delightful side dish to your favorite grilled proteins or enjoy on its own.
