Grilled Broccolini 101

I am such a fan of broccolini – I swear I could eat it every day! We make this so often during the summer since we grill most nights.  We just throw these on with whatever else we are grilling!  Quick, easy and my kids actually love it (no, seriously they do).

What is Broccolini

Broccolini is a hybrid between Chinese Kale and Broccoli!

Here is a nice article from The Kitchn all about the differences between Broccoli, Broccolini, Broccoli Rabe and Chinese Broccoli!

Where Can I Find Broccolini

You can find broccolini in the produce section of many grocery stores! I have found it at my local co-op, ALDI, Whole Foods and other grocery stores! If your store doesn’t carry it maybe ask someone in the produce department if they could start carrying it!

What to Serve with Grilled Broccolini

We serve broccolini with pretty much anything else we are grilling such as:

• Grilled Steak
• Grilled Chicken Thighs
• Grilled Chicken Breasts

How to Grill Broccolini

Step 1: Preheat grill to High Heat (450-500 degrees).

Step 2: 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).

Step 3: Place broccolini in a large bowl or on a large tray (a cookie sheet works). Drizzle with oil.

Step 4: Using your hands, massage the oil into every little nook and cranny of all the broccolini pieces.

Step 5: Then sprinkle generously with salt.

Step 6: Place broccolini over direct heat for 6 minutes, flipping once halfway through.

Step 7: 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.

Step 8: Remove and serve immediately.

Notes

• Placement of Broccolini: try and make sure the broccolini isn’t overlapping when on the grill so it cooks evenly
• Direct Heat Definition: placing the broccolini over “high heat” simply means you are placing it directly over the heat source (fire).
