Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Broccoli florets
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper, freshly ground
Instructions
Prepare the broccoli by cutting it into bite-sized florets. Rinse thoroughly under cold water and pat dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the olive oil and let it warm up for 1 minute.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 30 seconds or until fragrant. Be careful not to let it brown.
Add the broccoli florets to the skillet and toss to coat evenly with the olive oil and garlic. Cook for 5–6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the broccoli is tender yet crisp.
Season the broccoli with salt and black pepper, stirring to combine.
Sprinkle the chopped parsley, fresh thyme leaves, and lemon zest over the broccoli. Toss well to evenly distribute the herbs and zest.
Cook for an additional 1–2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Remove from heat and transfer the herbed broccoli to a serving dish. Serve immediately as a side dish for your favorite main course.
