Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Broccoli florets
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 50 grams Desiccated coconut
- 3 units Garlic cloves, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger, grated
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili flakes
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
Instructions
Begin by washing and thoroughly drying the broccoli florets. Cut any large florets into bite-sized pieces.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the broccoli florets to the skillet and sauté them for about 5-7 minutes or until they start to brown and become tender-crisp.
While the broccoli is cooking, in a small bowl, combine the remaining tablespoon of olive oil with the finely chopped garlic and grated ginger.
Add the garlic and ginger mixture to the skillet with the broccoli. Stir well to coat the florets evenly and cook for an additional 2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant.
Sprinkle the red chili flakes, salt, and black pepper over the broccoli and stir to combine.
Reduce the heat to low and sprinkle the desiccated coconut over the broccoli. Toss well to ensure the coconut is evenly distributed and begins to slightly toast, about 2 minutes.
Remove the skillet from the heat and squeeze the fresh lemon juice over the broccoli. Give it a final toss to incorporate the citrusy flavor.
Transfer the keto fried broccoli with desiccated coconut to a serving dish and enjoy as a flavorful side dish or a light main course.
