Grilled Broccoli and Vidalia Onion with Pine Nuts and Parmesan - 8.9g Carbs, 2.9g Fiber, 2.6g Sugar

From: aggieskitchen.com
Serves: 4

1 head broccoli, cut into florets
1 sweet Vidalia onion, sliced
2 Tbsp olive oil
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
1/4 cup toasted pine nuts
Parmesan Cheese, to grate fresh when ready to serve
Red pepper flakes, optional
Drizzle olive oil, for serving

Preheat your grill to medium high heat.

In a large bowl combine broccoli florets, onion, olive oil, salt and pepper. Place into a large grill wok or basket. Carefully place onto hot grill and close lid.

Let cook for about 5 minutes. Using tongs, gently toss and close lid again, cooking for another 7-10 minutes or until broccoli and onion start to char. Onions will soften and broccoli will be crisp tender. Cook longer to your preference.

Place in a serving dish and top with toasted pine nuts and lots of freshly grated Parmesan cheese. Optional: Drizzle with additional olive oil and sprinkle with red pepper flakes.
