How to Grill Broccolini
Preheat grill to High Heat (450-500 degrees).
While the grill is heating, place broccoli on a cutting board and cut off the bottom 1/2 inch (just to remove any dried out ends).
Place broccolini in a large bowl or on a large tray (a cookie sheet works). Drizzle with oil.
Using your hands, massage the oil into every little nook and cranny of all the broccolini pieces.
Then sprinkle generously with salt.
Place broccolini over direct heat for 6 minutes, flipping once halfway through.
If you prefer more of a char feel free to leave on for an additional minute or two until it is charred to your preference.
Remove and serve immediately.
