This broiled octopus recipe is amazing! This is the quickest and easiest way to cook baby octopus! Tastes exactly like the grilled octopus appetizer from a Greek restaurant!
In a bowl, mix the octopus, olive oil, lemon juice and Italian seasoning.
Let the octopus marinate for 20 minutes on the counter (or in a refrigerator overnight).
Put the octopus on a non-stick baking sheet.
Put the octopus in the oven on the top shelf and broil for 6 minutes total (or until cooked through), turning them over once halfway through the cooking time.
Chop the broiled octopus into smaller pieces before serving. Drizzle with additional olive oil and lemon juice if desired.
