Equipment
Ingredients
- ½ pound broccolini
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon coarse ground pepper
- ⅛ teaspoon red pepper flakes Optional.
- shaved parmesan flakes, to top
- 1 lemon Halved.
Instructions
- Prep: Prepare grill for direct or one zone cooking. While the grill is coming to temperature, remove any leaves from the broccolini. Rinse and pat dry and place on a cookie sheet.
- Season + Grill: Season broccolini with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Place over direct heat. Grill and rotate after you see adequate charring. Total cook time should be no more than 10 minutes. The key is to watch for desired char. Concurrently place the two lemon halves over direct heat and remove after 8 minutes or until you see char marks on the lemon.
- Serve: After removing broccolini and lemon from grill, place on a serving tray. Squeeze lemon over the brocollini, add red chili pepper flakes (optional), and shave parmesan cheese over the top.
Notes
You can make this vegan by leaving out the Parmesan cheese.
When buying the broccolini, be sure it's not wilted or soft. It will not grill up well. If it is, then consider grilling broccoli crowns instead.
