Simple yet elegant, these scallions are grilled until tender and slightly charred, bringing out their sweet, smoky flavor. A perfect side dish for any barbecue or summer meal, ready in under 10 minutes.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, approximately 400-450°F (200-230°C). Use a grill brush to clean the grates thoroughly to prevent the scallions from sticking.
While the grill heats, prepare the scallions. Trim off the root ends and any wilted or tough dark green tops. On a baking sheet or in a shallow dish, drizzle the scallions with olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Use your hands to gently toss them until they are evenly coated.
Place the oiled scallions directly on the hot grill grates, arranging them perpendicular to the bars to ensure they don't fall through. Grill for 2-4 minutes on the first side, until they are tender and have developed distinct char marks.
Using tongs, carefully flip the scallions and grill for another 1-2 minutes on the other side. They should be tender-crisp and slightly wilted. Be careful not to overcook them, as they can become mushy.
Remove the scallions from the grill and arrange them on a serving platter. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over them right before serving to add a bright, zesty finish. Serve immediately.
