1 Cut the broccoli into large 4-inch florets. Trim the long sides to create flat edges that will make direct contact with the grill grates.
2 Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
3 Place the broccoli in a large bowl and add the olive oil, garlic powder, and salt. Toss to coat, using your hands to make sure the tops of the broccoli florets are well oiled.
4 Grill the broccoli for 5 to 8 minutes on the first side, or until char marks form. Flip, tent with foil, and grill for 3 to 6 minutes on the second side, or until the broccoli is tender and well charred. If it’s charring faster than it’s becoming tender, reduce the heat to low.
5 Remove from the grill and squeeze with lemon juice. Sprinkle with red pepper flakes, season to taste, and serve.
