Ingredients
- 4 cups Fresh broccoli florets
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Minced garlic
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 1/4 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Step 1 – Prepare The Broccoli
- Wash the broccoli florets thoroughly.
- Simmer them in a basket over boiling water.
- Cover and steam for about 5-7 minutes until they are bright green and tender.
- Steaming is a fantastic way to retain the maximum amount of nutrients in vegetables.
Step 2 – Make The Seasoning Mix
- In a bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper.
- Whisk together until well blended.
- A good whisking brings together ingredients beautifully, ensuring each broccoli floret is evenly coated.
Step 3 – Toss The Broccoli
- Remove the steamed broccoli from heat and transfer to a large bowl.
- Pour the seasoning mix over the broccoli.
- Toss well to ensure all the florets are coated with the seasoning.
- Tossing your broccoli in the seasoning while it’s still warm will help it absorb all the flavors.
Notes
- For a crispier texture, pop the seasoned broccoli under a broiler for 2 minutes.
- You can keep leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days if you put them in a container that won’t admit air.
