Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil on the stove. On the counter, assemble a cold ice bath in a large bowl and set aside.
Add broccoli to the pot when the water begins to boil. Boil for 1 - 2 minutes to quickly blanch broccoli. Then transfer it to the ice bath to stop it from cooking further. Strain cooled broccoli with a colander.
Dice the onion into large chunks and dice the garlic clove. Set aside.
Add all ingredients to a large bowl and combine to season broccoli all over for the grill.
With a piece of foil, make a large area like a baking sheet tray with a rim on the edges. Dump seasoned broccoli and onions on the foil sheet.
Preheat the grill too high. Our grill reached about 450-500 degrees F.
Once the grill is hot, add broccoli and onions mixture with foil beneath it. Close the lid and grill broccoli and onions for 8-10 minutes. Every few minutes, open the lid and toss around vegetables with tongs to get seasonings all over and help the grilled veggies cook evenly.
Optional - if desired, move large broccoli florets directly on to grill grates to get a char (otherwise they just steam in the foil, which is tasty, too). Choose ones that won’t fall through the grates. Leave the onions on the foil because they’re smaller.
Close the grill for 1-2 minutes longer to finish charring.
Remove grilled broccoli and onions, enjoy when cooled.
