Grilled Broccoli - Allergy Free CookBook

Grilled broccoli is delicious. Spice or barbecue sauce are frequently added, though not necessary. However, it may end up only steamed, and not fully cooked, which can cause problems for those who have become unable to properly digest it. Broccoli on the grill is best with butter and bacon bits. Adding the broccoli packet to the grill before the meat helps it cook faster, and more fully. Broccoli can be grilled with other vegetables, including cauliflower, squash, and green beans. It's a fun side dish, and a great way to share vegetables with children in a way they don't expect.
