Grilled Broccolini

Grilled Broccolini is prepared by massaging broccolini with a sauce made from yellow mustard, Brazilian-style sofrito or garlic, olive oil, salt, and black pepper before grilling it until charred to taste. This technique imparts smoky, tangy, and savory flavors while retaining a tender yet crisp texture. It makes for a unique and flavorful vegetable side dish that elevates broccolini beyond simple steaming or sautéing.

Description

Grilled Broccolini uses broccolini trimmed and coated evenly with a mixture of yellow mustard, sofrito or minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper. The preparation emphasizes flavor infusion and even coating before grilling. The broccolini is grilled at 400°F, arranged in a single layer, either directly on the grate or on a grilling tray, allowing the broccolini to develop char marks and a smoky flavor while maintaining a slight crispness.

The resulting broccolini pairs well with grilled meats or as a distinctive vegetable side. The tanginess of the mustard and the savory notes from the sofrito balance the natural bitterness and earthiness of the broccolini. It is a suitable accompaniment for summer barbecues or any meal needing a vegetable with a vibrant grilled profile.

Leftovers should be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator and can be reheated using an air fryer or broiler to regain crispness. This method helps maintain the texture and flavor of the grilled broccolini after storage.
