BBQ Grilled Broccoli
Grilled broccoli is one of the healthiest and most delicious grilled vegetables that more and more people are discovering. The combination of BBQ sauce and smoked paprika gives a deep and smoky flavor to this crispy vegetable, making it easily the star of the barbecue.

Preparation Steps
1
Thoroughly wash the broccoli and cut it into smaller florets for easy grilling.
2
In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. This will be your marinade.
3
Using a brush, coat the broccoli florets with the marinade, ensuring they are well covered. Let it sit for 10 minutes.
4
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. If using a grill grate, lightly oil it to prevent the broccoli from sticking.
5
Place the broccoli on the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, until slightly charred but still crisp-tender.
6
During the last minute of grilling, brush the broccoli with BBQ sauce and cook for another minute to allow the sauce to caramelize slightly.
7
Remove the broccoli from the grill and sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving. Serve warm as a side dish or as a standalone dish.
