Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes optional
- 1½ pounds broccoli florets medium-sized
- Salt and pepper to taste
- ⅓ cup water or chicken broth
Instructions
- In a skillet over medium-high heat, warm the olive oil. Add minced garlic and optional red pepper flakes, sautéing for 30-60 seconds until the aroma is released.
- Place the broccoli florets into the skillet, seasoning with salt and pepper. Pour in the water or chicken broth, then cover the skillet. Let it cook for 3 minutes.
- Uncover the skillet and continue cooking the broccoli for 2-3 minutes, or until the water has fully evaporated and the edges of the broccoli start to brown. Increase the heat if necessary to achieve the desired caramelization. Serve warm.
