Notes

See post text for other methods of grilling broccoli such as in a foil packet or in a grill basket.
Using larger pieces of broccoli will keep this vegetable from slipping through the grates of the grill.
This recipe works best with fresh broccoli. Frozen broccoli will be soggy and overcooked if you try to grill it.
