I started using this grilled broccoli recipe in 1987 when I began cooking light. It's been a favorite side dish ever since. With its lemon and Parmesan flavors, it once took second place in a cooking contest. -Alice Nulle, Woodstock, Illinois

Tips:

  • Choose the right broccoli: Look for broccoli with tight, compact florets and a deep green color. Avoid broccoli with yellowing or wilted florets.
  • Trim the broccoli: Cut off the tough ends of the broccoli stems and remove any leaves. Cut the broccoli florets into bite-sized pieces.
  • Marinate the broccoli: Marinating the broccoli in a mixture of olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper helps to infuse it with flavor and prevent it from drying out during grilling.
  • Preheat the grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat before grilling the broccoli. This will help to create nice grill marks and prevent the broccoli from sticking to the grates.
  • Grill the broccoli: Grill the broccoli for 5-7 minutes per side, or until it is tender and slightly charred. Be careful not to overcook the broccoli, as it will become mushy.
  • Serve the broccoli: Serve the grilled broccoli immediately with your favorite dipping sauce or topping. Some popular options include lemon-herb butter, garlic aioli, or Parmesan cheese.
