Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Broccolini

    Rinse the broccolini under cold water and trim any tough ends. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Roast the Garlic

    Preheat your grill. Wrap the garlic cloves in aluminum foil with a drizzle of olive oil. Place on the grill to roast for about 10-15 minutes, until soft and fragrant.

Making the Butter Mixture

  1. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    In a small saucepan, melt the stick of butter over low heat. Add the roasted garlic (squeezed from their skins) to the melted butter. Stir in lemon juice, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and keep warm.

Grilling

  1. 4

    Grill the Broccolini

    Place the broccolini directly on the grill grates. Grill for about 4-5 minutes per side, until tender and slightly charred.

  2. 5

    Add the Butter

    Once the broccolini is grilled, remove from the grill and immediately drizzle with the garlic lemon butter mixture. Toss to coat evenly.

Serving

  1. 6

    Top with Parmesan

    Sprinkle the grilled broccolini with freshly grated Parmesan cheese. Serve warm as a side dish.
