Ingredients
- 500 grams Broccolini
- 2 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Step 2
Rinse the broccolini under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.
Step 3
Trim any tough ends of the broccolini stalks to ensure even cooking.
Step 4
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using).
Step 5
Add the broccolini to the bowl and toss well to coat evenly with the marinade.
Step 6
Once the grill is hot, lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Step 7
Place the broccolini on the grill in a single layer, perpendicular to the grates to prevent them from falling through.
Step 8
Grill the broccolini for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are tender and have charred grill marks.
Step 9
Transfer the grilled broccolini to a serving platter.
Step 10
Sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the broccolini for added freshness.
Step 11
Serve immediately as a side dish or a light appetizer.
