Charred Broccoli

Method

Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Char the Broccoli

    Preheat your grill or a grill pan over medium-high heat. In a large bowl, toss the broccoli florets with olive oil, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated. Place the broccoli on the grill and cook for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until charred and tender.

  2. 2

    Make the Gremolata

    In a food processor, combine sunflower seeds, minced garlic, lemon zest, chopped parsley, olive oil, and salt. Pulse until the mixture is finely chopped but still has some texture. Adjust seasoning to taste.

  3. 3

    Serve

    Once the broccoli is charred, remove from the grill and place onto a serving platter. Drizzle the sunflower seed gremolata over the charred broccoli and serve immediately.
