Grilled Broccoli in Foil Packets
When you grill broccoli in a foil packet, it tastes roasted, steamed and smokey all at once. Irresistible!

- Cover with another piece of foil. Fold the edges together to form a good seal all the way around the packet.
- Place the packet on the preheated grill. Close the lid and let the packet cook for 5 minutes, then flip it and cook for 5 minutes more.
- Remove the packet from the grill. You can let teh broccoli continue to steam in the packet for a few minutes, if desired.

Notes
To make more broccoli, I recommend using multiple packets to keep them from getting too large.
