Ingredients
- 450 grams broccolini
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 large garlic cloves
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the broccolini under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Trim any tough ends and discard.
Step 2
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, minced garlic, sea salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until well combined.
Step 3
Place the broccolini in a large bowl and drizzle with the lemon and garlic dressing. Toss well to ensure the broccolini is evenly coated.
Step 4
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the broccolini on the grill in a single layer. Grill for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the broccolini is tender and has char marks.
Step 5
Remove the broccolini from the grill and transfer to a serving platter. Optional: drizzle with additional lemon juice or sprinkle extra lemon zest for added brightness.
Step 6
Serve immediately as a delicious side dish that pairs perfectly with grilled meats or fish.
