Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs broccoli
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp paprika
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, freshly grated
- 1 to serve lemon wedges
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (approximately 400°F). If using a grill pan, place it on the stove over medium-high heat.
Step 2
Wash the broccoli and cut it into bite-sized florets. Pat them dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together to make a flavorful marinade.
Step 4
Add the broccoli florets to the bowl and toss well to ensure all pieces are evenly coated with the marinade.
Step 5
Place the broccoli on the preheated grill (or grill pan) in a single layer. Cook for 6-8 minutes, turning occasionally with tongs, until the broccoli is tender and slightly charred.
Step 6
Remove the broccoli from the grill and transfer it to a serving plate.
Step 7
Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese generously over the hot broccoli so it melts slightly.
Step 8
Serve immediately with fresh lemon wedges on the side for an optional bright, tangy finish.
