Key Ingredients
Broccoli – You can purchase pre-chopped broccoli or an entire head of broccoli and easily chop it into florets yourself. To chop, slice off each floret stem right where it meets the base. Then, slice larger florets in half to achieve as evenly-sized broccoli florets as possible. Lemon Juice – Fresh lemon juice is always best, though bottled will work as well. If you don’t have lemon juice, you can use lime juice instead. A touch of acidity brings out the freshness in this grilled broccoli recipe. Parmesan Cheese – Though this ingredient is optional, I highly recommend it! I also recommend using freshly grated parmesan cheese because it melts just enough when sprinkled over this grilled broccoli.
Chef’s Tips
If you have a grill basket, then use it! Though if you don’t have a grill basket, follow the steps of this recipe and simply use a sheet of aluminum foil instead. Since broccoli cooks rather quickly, keep an eye on it and remove it from the grill when cooked to your desired doneness. If you’re not a huge fan of char, simply grill for 5-8 minutes instead! And if you love that smoky char flavor, go for the full 10 minutes.Have fun with the flavors in this grilled broccoli recipe and add whatever you’d like! Garlic powder and smoked paprika would taste great over this dish. You could also serve this finished side dish alongside ranch for dipping – YUM!
