Charcoal-Grilled Broccolini with Lemon and Olive Oil

Ingredients

- 1 pound broccolini
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 lemon, halved

Instructions

1. Prepare the Grill: Preheat your charcoal grill for high, direct heat. You want the coals to be hot and ashen, which typically takes about 20 minutes. Arrange the coals to create a hot zone for grilling.

2. Prep the Broccolini: Rinse the broccolini thoroughly under cold water and pat dry with a clean kitchen towel. Trim the ends of the broccolini to remove any tough stems.

3. Season the Broccolini: In a large bowl, toss the broccolini with olive oil until evenly coated. Sprinkle with kosher salt, garlic powder, and freshly ground black pepper. Toss again to distribute the seasonings uniformly.

4. Grill the Broccolini: Place the seasoned broccolini directly over the hot coals on the grill. Grill for approximately 5 to 7 minutes, turning occasionally, until the broccolini is charred and tender-crisp.

5. Finish with Lemon: Once the broccolini is grilled to your liking, remove it from the grill. Squeeze the juice of one lemon half over the grilled broccolini for a fresh and tangy finish. Slice the remaining half into wedges for serving, if desired.

6. Serve: Transfer the grilled broccolini to a serving platter and serve immediately as a delicious dinner side.
