Method
 

Preparation
  1. Prepare your grill (electric grill, grill pan, or outdoor grill) to medium-high heat, allowing it to reach the ideal temperature for cooking.
  2. On a large platter, drizzle the broccolini with olive oil and sprinkle it with kosher salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Toss everything until well-coated.
Grilling
  1. Place the broccolini on the grill, turning it often. Grill for approximately 8 minutes for medium stalks, or 3-4 minutes for thin ones. For very thick stems, allow up to 15 minutes, lowering the heat to medium and covering the grill, if possible.
Serving

Notes

To avoid mistakes, watch the grill closely to prevent overcooking, and use enough oil to prevent sticking. Experiment with additional seasonings like lemon zest or crushed red pepper for added flavor, and consider serving with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice for a bright finish. Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
