Here's a simple weeknight dinner that comes together in just 45 minutes and costs very little to make. I love this grilled white beans and broccoli recipe because it's so easy, yet feels special enough to serve to guests. White beans are packed with fiber and protein, which means this dish keeps you satisfied long after dinner. The combination of garlic, lemon zest, and red pepper flakes makes everything taste vibrant and fresh, and you probably have most of these ingredients on hand already. It's become one of my go to meals when I want something healthy without spending hours in the kitchen.
