Broccolini alla griglia

Ingredienti

• 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
• 3 cloves garlic (minced)
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
• pinch cayenne pepper
• 1 pound broccolini (washed and trimmed)
• kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
• 1/2 lemon (juiced, optional)

Preparazione

1. 1

   Preheat an outdoor grill to medium-high (425˚F).

2. 2

   In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, garlic, cumin, paprika, and cayenne. Place broccolini in a large bowl or baking dish and drizzle with olive oil mixture; toss well with your hands to coat evenly.

3. 3

   Place broccolini in an even layer directly on grill, perpendicular to the grates.

4. 4

   Cook with the lid open, turning often with tongs, until crisp-tender and unevenly charred and blistered, 6-8 minutes, depending on the thickness of the broccolini and your desired doneness. (Very large stems may take longer.)

5. 5

   Transfer grilled broccolini to a serving bowl and season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Squeeze lemon juice over if desired and serve.
