Ingredients

• 1 head Fresh broccoli
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your grill to medium heat (approximately 375°F/190°C) and lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.

Step 2

Rinse the broccoli head thoroughly under cold water and pat it dry with a clean kitchen towel.

Step 3

Cut the broccoli into florets, ensuring they are roughly the same size for even cooking. For the stalk, peel the tough outer layer and slice it into 1/4-inch rounds.

Step 4

In a large bowl, combine the broccoli florets and stalk slices. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss until all the pieces are evenly coated.

Step 5

Transfer the seasoned broccoli to a grill basket, or place the florets directly on the preheated grill grates if a basket isn’t available.

Step 6

Grill the broccoli for 12–15 minutes, turning occasionally, until it is tender and has nice char marks. The edges should be slightly crispy.

Step 7

Remove the grilled broccoli from the heat and transfer it to a serving platter.

Step 8

Drizzle with fresh lemon juice right before serving to enhance the flavor.

Step 9

Serve hot as a side dish or pair with your favorite protein for a complete meal.
