Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups broccoli florets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 0.25 cup almond slices
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
Instructions
Start by washing the broccoli florets under running water and drain well.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant, taking care not to burn the garlic.
Add the broccoli florets to the skillet and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to turn bright green and become tender-crisp.
Sprinkle in the red pepper flakes and continue to cook for another minute.
Add the almond slices into the skillet and toss them with the broccoli until they are lightly toasted, about 1-2 more minutes.
Remove the skillet from the heat and squeeze in the lemon juice evenly over the broccoli.
Season with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper according to your taste preference.
Transfer the stir-fried broccoli to a serving dish and serve immediately. Enjoy your Paleo Simple Stir-Fried Broccoli!
