Easy 10 Minute Garlic Broccoli
Description
Easy 10 Minute Garlic Broccoli relies on olive oil and fresh garlic to infuse the broccoli florets with savory notes. The cooking process involves sautéing garlic briefly for its aroma, then coating the broccoli in the garlic oil. Adding onion powder, garlic powder, and vegetable stock introduces depth to the flavor and helps soften the broccoli when covered and steamed. The method ensures the broccoli is cooked through yet continues to offer slight crispness, making it a pleasant texture contrast.
This garlic broccoli is an adaptable side suitable for pairing with a range of main courses, including meats, grains, or pasta dishes. The fresh garlic flavor is prominent but balanced by the stock. Adjusting garlic and onion powder amounts allows customization to taste.
Frozen broccoli can be used as an alternative to fresh; reduce the amount of stock needed and extend steaming time accordingly to accommodate the extra moisture. Adding red pepper flakes can introduce a mild heat if desired.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4-5 cloves garlic
- 1 1/2 lbs broccoli about 5 crowns, florets
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 cup vegetable stock or chicken or beef stock
Instructions
- Heat oil in a cast iron or large sauté pan on medium.
- Add garlic and stir and cook for 60-90 seconds.
- Add broccoli stir to coat with oil and garlic. Cook for another minute. Add garlic and onion powder and stock to pan, stir to combine and cover.
- Let cook covered for 8 minutes.
- Give a final stir and serve immediately.
Notes
- Frozen broccoli can replace fresh but requires less stock and an extra minute or two of cooking to account for moisture.
- Adjust garlic and onion powder quantities to modify flavor intensity per preference.
- Red pepper flakes may be added for a touch of heat if desired.
