Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Broccoli
- 3 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
- 1 cup Coconut milk
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Begin by washing the broccoli and cutting them into bite-sized florets.
In a medium pot, bring water to a boil and blanch the broccoli florets for about 2 minutes, until just tender. Drain them immediately and set aside.
In a large skillet over medium heat, heat the olive oil. Add the blanched broccoli florets and sauté for 3-4 minutes.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the coconut milk, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir the mixture well, coating the broccoli evenly.
Let the broccoli simmer in the sauce for about 5 minutes, or until the sauce thickens slightly.
Remove from heat and stir in the lemon juice. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Serve the Paleo Cheesy Broccoli warm as a nutritious side dish.
