Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 4 cups fresh broccoli florets
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Steam Broccoli: Fill a pot with about an inch of water and bring it to a boil. Place a steamer basket over the boiling water and add the broccoli florets. Cover the pot and steam the broccoli for 4 to 5 minutes until it is bright green and tender-crisp.
  2. Prepare Garlic Butter Sauce: While the broccoli steams, melt the butter in a small pan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté gently for about 1 minute until fragrant but not browned.
  3. Toss Broccoli with Sauce: Transfer the steamed broccoli to a mixing bowl. Pour the garlic butter over the broccoli and toss well to coat each floret evenly.
  4. Add Parmesan Cheese: Sprinkle the freshly grated Parmesan cheese over the broccoli and toss again to distribute the cheese throughout. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  5. Serve Warm: Serve the broccoli immediately as a delicious, savory side dish that complements a variety of mains.

Notes

  • Do not oversteam the broccoli to keep it tender-crisp and retain its vibrant green color.
  • Use freshly grated Parmesan cheese for the best flavor and texture.
  • You can add a squeeze of lemon juice for a bright, fresh twist if desired.
  • Adjust garlic quantity based on your preference for more or less garlic intensity.
