By charlotteh371

Ingredients

• 1 head broccoli, cut into 16 pieces
• 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
• 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
• Juice and zest of 1 lemon
• Sea salt

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat a cast-iron griddle or large skillet over high heat. Place broccoli on dry griddle and char until blistered on 1 side. Turn and char other side. Transfer to a large heatproof bowl.

2. In a separate large skillet, warm oil over medium heat. Add garlic and red pepper flakes and cook, stirring frequently, until garlic is golden brown, about 2 minutes. Pour oil mixture over broccoli and turn to coat. Let marinate for 10 minutes. Drizzle with lemon juice and season with salt and lemon zest. Serve hot or at room temperature.
