Ingredients

  • 1 head broccoli, cut into 16 pieces
  • ΒΌ cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
  • 1 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
  • Juice and zest of 1 lemon
  • Sea salt to taste

Directions

  1. Preheat a large cast-iron skillet or griddle over high heat. Place the broccoli in the skillet and char until blistered on one side. Turn and char the other side. Transfer to a large heatproof bowl.
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, warm the olive oil. Add the garlic and pepper flakes and cook, stirring frequently, until the garlic is golden brown, about 2 minutes.
