Variations for Grilled Broccoli
This recipe is simple, but you can spice it up if you like! Instead of salt and pepper, try adding more exciting spices.
Use Italian seasoning and fresh parsley if you like. For a more Asian flavor profile, use soy sauce and ginger. For some heat, try paprika, chili powder, or cumin.
Some people love using balsamic vinegar or fresh lemon juice as their liquid. It’s hard to mess up this recipe!
Substitutions for Grilled Broccoli
All of the ingredients in this recipe can be easily substituted.
- Oils: Extra virgin olive oil is preferred, but cooking oil can be used.
- Seasonings: Worcestershire sauce can be replaced with soy sauce or tamari. Garlic powder can be substituted for fresh garlic. Red chili flakes can be swapped for other spicy seasonings.
- Cheese: Parmesan is ideal, but Romano or mozzarella can be used as alternatives.
- Sweeteners: Honey can be substituted with agave or maple syrup.
- Broccoli: Fresh broccoli is best, but frozen broccoli can be used.
What Temperature to Grill Broccoli At
Grill the broccoli at 425°F. This high temperature will cook it quickly, around 10-15 minutes. If the cooking temperature is hotter, the broccoli will cook more quickly. If the cooking temperature is lower, the broccoli will take longer.
How To Store Leftover Grilled Broccoli
Leftover broccoli can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. I don’t recommend freezing grilled broccoli, as it never turns out quite right when thawed.
Chopped broccoli florets are a great ingredient for several recipes. They can be used in chicken salad or as a pizza topping.
They’ll complement nearly any recipe you want to make. And the leftover broccoli will add some nutritional value!
