Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Broccoli florets
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Red chili flakes
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
- 0.25 cup Almonds, sliced
Instructions
Begin by washing the broccoli florets thoroughly under cold water and then pat them dry with a clean towel.
In a large skillet, add the olive oil and heat it over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until it becomes fragrant but not browned.
Add the broccoli florets to the skillet, stirring well to coat them with the garlic and oil.
Sprinkle the red chili flakes evenly over the broccoli, and then add the sea salt and black pepper. Stir to combine.
Continue to cook the broccoli for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the florets are just tender and have a slight char on the edges.
Meanwhile, in a small dry pan over medium heat, toast the sliced almonds until they are golden brown, stirring frequently to prevent burning. This should take about 3-4 minutes.
Return to the broccoli and drizzle the lemon juice over it, tossing once more to distribute the flavor.
Transfer the fiery broccoli to a serving platter and sprinkle the toasted almonds over the top as a finishing touch.
Serve immediately and enjoy your spicy Paleo Fiery Broccoli!
