Main Ingredients

Instructions

  • Prepare the broccoli by washing it thoroughly and cutting it into bite-sized florets.
  • Steam or boil the broccoli florets until they are tender-crisp, which usually takes about 3-5 minutes; drain well and set aside.
  • In a small pan, heat olive oil over medium heat, then add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant. Toss the cooked broccoli with the garlic oil, salt, and pepper until evenly coated, and serve immediately.

Notes

Do not overcook the broccoli; it should be tender-crisp for the best texture. Adjust the amount of garlic to your preference for a milder or stronger flavor.
