Ingredients
- 1 bunch broccolini 8 ounces
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or avocado oil
- ½ teaspoon Diamond Crystal kosher salt or ¼ teaspoon of any other salt, including Morton kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
- Heat a dual-contact electric grill, a grill pan, or an outdoor grill to medium-high heat.
- Meanwhile, on a large platter, drizzle the broccolini with olive oil and sprinkle it with kosher salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
- Use your hands to toss everything together until the broccolini is well-coated.
- Grill the broccolini, turning it often, until the stalks are tender-crisp and the tops are browned and caramelized. How long you'll need to grill depends on the thickness of the stems. For thicker ones, it should take about 8 minutes. For thinner ones like the ones shown here, 3-4 minutes is all it takes.
- You can top the cooked broccolini with red pepper flakes and/or grated parmesan before serving.
Notes
- You don't want your grill too hot because then the broccolini will burn before it has a chance to become tender.
- I prefer garlic powder (or garlic granules) to minced fresh garlic in this recipe. The powder better coats the broccolini and doesn't burn as easily as fresh garlic.
- The entire vegetable is edible. You can eat the stems, florets, and leaves. However, for thicker-stem broccolini, trim off the very bottom of the stems if they're tough.
- How long you'll need to grill depends on the thickness of the stems. For thicker ones, it should take about 8 minutes. For thinner ones, 3-4 minutes is all it takes. The photo below shows the difference in thickness you can expect when shopping for broccolini.
- You can keep the leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days. Reheat them in the microwave at 50% power or in a 350°F oven. You can also enjoy them cold, antipasti-style.
