Instructions
Combine broccoli, olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl, then toss until evenly coated.
Lay a piece of foil over the grill grates or position a grill pan over the grates. Heat gas grill to medium, or prepare a charcoal grill for indirect heat.
Once the grill is heated, spread the broccoli florets over the foil or grill pan. Arrange into an even layer, close the lid, and grill 4 minutes.
Flip the florets using tongs, close the lid, and grill 4-5minutes minutes more, or until the florets are tender and lightly charred.
Remove from the grill, sprinkle with lemon juice, and serve immediately.
