Ingredients

1 lb (450 g) broccolini, trimmed
2 tbsp (30 ml) olive oil, divided
1 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
1 large garlic clove, finely minced
1 lemon, zested and 1/2 juiced
2 tbsp finely chopped fresh parsley
1/4 cup (30 g) toasted pecans, finely chopped
Optional: 1 oz (28 g) shaved Parmesan

Instructions

1. Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
2. Toss broccolini with 1 tablespoon olive oil, kosher salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes.
3. Grill broccolini, turning occasionally, until crisp-tender with deep char in spots, 4–6 minutes. Transfer to a platter.
4. Make the gremolata: In a small bowl, combine garlic, lemon zest, parsley, and toasted pecans. Stir in remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and the lemon juice to lightly moisten; season to taste.
5. Drizzle the broccolini with any resting juices, spoon the lemon-pecan gremolata over the top, and finish with shaved Parmesan if using. Serve warm.
