neutral tasting cooking oil with a high smoke point, like rice bran, canola or grapeseed
kosher salt
¼ cup slivered almonds
1 orange, ½ zested then cut in half
¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp. maple syrup
1 tbsp. Dijon mustard
black pepper
Directions
Preheat grill to medium-high heat (450-500°F) with a Broil King Grill Wok or Roaster Basket.
Meanwhile, toss the broccolini florets in a mixing bowl with about 2-3 tablespoons of cooking oil and a generous sprinkling of kosher salt.
On your grill’s side burner or on the stove, toast slivered almonds in a pan on medium-low heat until golden, 4-5 minutes. Set aside to cool.
Roast broccolini in the Grill Wok or Roaster Basket for 10-15 minutes, occasionally flipping, until nicely charred and crisp-tender. Be sure to maintain a steady temperature and err on the side of lower heat to avoid scorching.
As the broccolini is roasting, zest ½ an orange and set zest aside in a small bowl. Cut the orange in half and char one half directly on the grids for 4-5 minutes. Reserve the other half for later use. Remove from the grill and let cool.
Make the grilled orange vinaigrette. Juice the orange half into a mixing bowl, looking out for seeds, and whisk together with extra virgin olive oil, maple syrup and Dijon mustard.
Transfer grilled broccolini onto a platter and spoon grilled orange vinaigrette over top. Finish with toasted slivered almonds and orange zest before serving. Salt and pepper to taste.
