Ingredients

• 1 pound broccolini
• 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 3 large garlic cloves
• 1 medium lemon
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F / 200°C).

Step 2

Rinse the broccolini thoroughly under cold running water and pat dry using a clean tea towel or paper towels.

Step 3

Trim about an inch off the bottom of the broccolini stems to remove any tough ends.

Step 4

Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, combine the broccolini, minced garlic, extra-virgin olive oil, sea salt, and ground black pepper. Toss until the broccolini is well coated.

Step 6

Once the grill is preheated, place the broccolini directly on the grill grates.

Step 7

Grill the broccolini for about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until tender and slightly charred.

Step 8

While the broccolini is grilling, zest the lemon and then cut it in half. Juice one half of the lemon and reserve the other half for serving.

Step 9

Once the broccolini is done grilling, transfer it to a serving platter.

Step 10

Drizzle the grilled broccolini with the lemon juice and sprinkle with the lemon zest.

Step 11

Serve immediately with additional lemon wedges on the side if desired.
