Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups broccoli florets
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, finely grated
- 2 tablespoons coconut aminos
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil (optional for garnish)
- 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Wash the broccoli thoroughly and cut it into bite-sized florets. Set aside.
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium heat. Add the coconut oil and let it melt.
Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet. Stir frequently and cook for about 30 seconds, or until fragrant.
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the broccoli florets. Stir-fry for 5-7 minutes, tossing frequently, until the broccoli is tender but still crisp.
Add the coconut aminos, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to coat the broccoli evenly with the seasoning.
Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Remove the skillet from the heat. If using, drizzle sesame oil over the broccoli for added flavor.
Transfer to a serving dish and sprinkle toasted sesame seeds on top as a garnish.
Serve immediately while hot and enjoy your Paleo-friendly stir-fried broccoli!
