Ingredients
  

  • Approximately one large head of broccoli or 2 pounds of broccoli florets
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1/3 cup grated Parmesan
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes optional

Method
 

  1. In a large bowl, add olive oil, salt, and pepper, then toss the broccoli with them.
  2. A medium-high range heat level should be used to prepare a grill or grill pan before placing florets cut-side down.
  3. Without moving for the first 3-4 minutes, cook them to get some charring, then flip and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until they are tender-crisp.
  4. Place the mixture into a bowl and incorporate lemon zest, lemon juice, parmesan, and red pepper flakes. Mix and check for seasoning.
  5. Serve warm or at room temperature.
