GRILLED BROCCOLI



Grilled Broccoli image

This grilled broccoli is dressed simply in tamari, olive oil and balsamic vinegar. It results in crisp-tender florets that are beautifully sweet and salty beneath the smoke.

Provided by Sam Sifton

Categories     dinner, lunch, quick, vegetables, side dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 tablespoons tamari or soy sauce
3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
1 head broccoli, approximately 2 pounds, cored and cut into 1-inch florets
Kosher salt, to taste
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley
Flaky sea salt (optional)

Steps:

  • Build a fire in your grill, leaving about 1/3 of grill free of coals, or set a gas grill to high.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the tamari or soy sauce with the vinegar. Add the olive oil while whisking vigorously. Add the broccoli and toss to coat. Sprinkle lightly with kosher salt.
  • Place a grill basket on the grill and add the broccoli to it. Grill, tossing frequently, until the florets are crisp at the edges and tender within, with just a little bit of bite to them, approximately 10 to 12 minutes. If you don't have a grill basket, lay the florets out on the grill in a single level and use tongs to turn them often. More work, same result.
  • Transfer the cooked broccoli to a platter, drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with parsley and, if using, a pinch or two of flaky sea salt.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, firm broccoli and cauliflower. Look for florets that are tightly closed and have a deep green or white color. Avoid florets that are wilted or have brown spots.
  • Cut the vegetables into evenly sized pieces. This will help them cook evenly. If the pieces are too large, they will take longer to cook and may burn on the outside before the inside is done.
  • Toss the vegetables with olive oil, salt, and pepper. This will help them to brown and caramelize on the grill.
  • Grill the vegetables over medium heat. This will help them to cook evenly without burning. Turn the vegetables every few minutes so that they cook evenly on all sides.
  • Cook the vegetables until they are tender-crisp. You should be able to pierce them easily with a fork, but they should still have a slight crunch.
  • Serve the grilled broccoli and cauliflower immediately. They can be served on their own, as a side dish, or added to other dishes, such as salads, pasta dishes, or stir-fries.

Conclusion:

Grilled broccoli and cauliflower is a healthy and delicious side dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a good source of vitamins, minerals, and fiber. It is also a low-calorie food that can help you to maintain a healthy weight. If you are looking for a new way to cook broccoli and cauliflower, try grilling them. You won't be disappointed!
