Ingredients

• 12 stalks Scallions (green onions)
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 0.5 whole Lemon

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.

Step 2

Rinse the scallions under cold water to remove any dirt and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.

Step 3

Trim about 1 inch off the root ends of the scallions, leaving them intact so they don’t fall apart.

Step 4

In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, salt, and black pepper.

Step 5

Brush the scallions generously with the seasoned olive oil, making sure they are evenly coated.

Step 6

Place the scallions directly on the preheated grill grates or grill pan, positioning them perpendicular to the grates to prevent them from falling through.

Step 7

Grill the scallions for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they develop light char marks and are tender but not mushy.

Step 8

Remove the scallions from the grill and transfer them to a serving plate.

Step 9

Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the top of the grilled scallions for a burst of acidity and extra flavor.

Step 10

Serve warm as a side dish or use as a topping for your favorite main dishes. Enjoy!
