Instructions
-
Prepare the Broccoli:
Wash the broccoli and cut it into large florets of even size for uniform cooking. -
Season the Broccoli:
In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder (if using), sea salt, and black pepper. Toss the broccoli florets in the mixture until they’re well coated. -
Preheat the Grill:
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. You can also use a grill pan on the stovetop if needed. -
Grill the Broccoli:
Place the broccoli directly on the grill or grill pan. Cook for 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until tender and charred on the edges. -
Serve:
Remove from the grill and serve immediately, adding any additional toppings if desired.
Notes
Spicy Kick: Add red pepper flakes to the olive oil mixture for a bit of heat.
Herbs: Replace garlic powder with fresh herbs like thyme, oregano, or rosemary for a more herbaceous flavor.
Cheese Topping: Sprinkle with Parmesan or feta cheese after grilling for extra richness.
Balsamic Glaze: Drizzle with balsamic glaze before serving for a tangy-sweet finish.
