Grilled Broccoli Vegetable Side Dish

May 17, 2019 · 7 Comments

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

I’m one of those people who loves broccoli.  I’m guessing that, as a kid, I didn’t always love it, but I sure do now.  And this recipe is quickly becoming my new favorite way to eat it…I’ve made it every week for the past month! I’m so excited to share this perfect grilled broccoli vegetable side dish recipe with you, happy five-ingredient Friday!

I once met someone who always sautéed her broccoli in soy sauce.  I, of course, thought it was a bit odd, but of course, as soon as I tried it, I loved it.  Another amazing way to eat broccoli.

The best grilled broccoli for a side dish

Making broccoli that everyone loves isn’t always easy.  For instance, Nick doesn’t love the amount of lemon in this recipe.  It just happens to be my favorite part!  (remember how I told you I’m so into lots of lemon flavor in this air fryer chicken piccata recipe?) Luckily, you can easily adjust the amount of lemon in the recipe.  When the broccoli is done cooking, I always squeeze a little extra lemon on top.  I could easily skip that step, for example.  Or maybe I’ll just skip it on Nick’s portion 🙂

The best grilled broccoli with lemon

Two summers ago, I made a delicious balsamic grilled vegetable side dish and it’s been one of my favorite and most popular grilling dishes. I make it all the time and it gets rave reviews (just like I think this broccoli will). Both of these vegetable dishes are simple and amazing. I’m thrilled to help give recipes for vegetable side dishes people actually eat and love.

Easy grilled broccoli vegetable side dish

For this recipe, I use the same grill basket that I mention in the balsamic grilled vegetable recipe.  It is probably my most favorite summer kitchen necessity and makes all of the difference when cooking veggies on the grill.

It’s so simple to make this grilled broccoli dish!

  1. Trim broccoli and put in grill pan
  2. Cut lemon and nestle slices between broccoli florets
  3. Squeeze lemon juice on top
  4. Put on grill and pour a little olive oil on broccoli (flames will rise, so be careful, but I love how it even using a gas grill it get’s a nice ‘grilled’ flavor on it)
  5. Add a hint of salt and garlic salt
  6. Grill and then before serving add a sprinkle of parmesan cheese on if desired, then enjoy!

Aaaannnnd, since we are in Wisconsin, I of course like to add cheese wherever possible.  I suppose I’m fulfilling the stereotype, but it’s just so tasty!  For this recipe, I love to shred a little fresh parmesan on top.  You can, of course, skip this step to keep the dish even more healthy than it is.

Here are my November 5 star books: Mrs Nash’s A Here are my November 5 star books:
Mrs Nash’s Ashes by @sarahadlerwrites  I did not want this lovely book to end! The characters had such great chemistry and it was overall such a good romance.”A starry-eyed romantic, a cynical writer, and (the ashes of) an elderly woman take the road trip of a lifetime that just might upend everything they believe about true love.”
Will They Or Won’t They by @avawilderwrites Such a cute story and I loved the ending, was not expecting it to end the way it did with the little twist. “Onscreen, they’re in love. Offscreen, they can’t stand each other. From the author of How to Fake It in Hollywood comes “a sexy lovers-to-enemies-to-lovers romance that smolders then bursts into flames”
Flying Solo @lindaholmes97  @justjuliawhelan narrates - she’s my fave narrator. This was such a fun audiobook, there were parts that had me loling and it was a unique love story, I thoroughly enjoyed it. “A woman returns to her small Maine hometown, uncovering family secrets that take her on a journey of self-discovery and new love, in this warm and charming novel from the NYT bestselling author of Evvie Drake Starts Over.”
The Lost Bookshop @evie.gaughan This was such a lovely cozy read with a touch of whimsey, I really loved the story. “The Keeper of Stories meets The Lost Apothecary in this evocative and charming novel full of mystery and secrets. ‘The thing about books,’ she said ‘is that they help you to imagine a life bigger and better than you could ever dream of.’ On a quiet street in Dublin, a lost bookshop is waiting to be found…”
