At first thought grilling broccoli might seem tricky, which would be true if you cut them down into florets. Instead, trim off a bit of the woody end and then quarter the stalks so that you have long, super grillable, pieces that will char up really nicely. Honestly we thing that this broccoli can be the star of the show but it also works as the perfect cookout side dish. While you’re at the grill, maybe give a little love to sweet pineapples, perfectly charred corn, or these super savory mushrooms.
