Seasoned with olive oil and garlic, it’s an easy side dish you can make in 10 minutes. The more I grill vegetables, the more I realize how much I love them cooked this way. Some of my favorites are grilled zucchini, grilled eggplant, grilled okra, and grilled portobello mushrooms. Not that there’s anything wrong with steamed veggies, especially when topped with butter. I enjoy steamed carrots, for example. But there’s something incredibly good about the browning effect that grilling has. And grilled broccolini is a prime example.
Recipe Card
Fresh broccolini: You’ll need one large bunch for this recipe. Olive oil: I love cooking with this delicious oil. But if you prefer an oil with a high smoke point, use avocado oil. Melted ghee is another good option. To season: Kosher salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Preheat your grill to medium-high. Meanwhile, place the broccolini on a large platter. Drizzle it with olive oil and sprinkle it with kosher salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Toss the broccolini with your hands until it’s well-coated. As mentioned above, you can top the cooked broccolini with red pepper flakes and/ or grated parmesan before serving. But since I use the grill to make this recipe, I like to serve it with something I can make on the same grill. So, I often serve this side dish with grilled skirt steak, grilled shrimp, or grilled chicken breast.
