This garlic broccoli recipe is so tasty that it’ll make fans of even the biggest veggie skeptics. Fresh broccoli florets are boiled until just tender, then combined with olive oil, lots of garlic and a simple blend of Italian seasoning and salt. The result is one of our best broccoli recipes<\/a> for a simple, ultra-flavorful side dish. Serve it alongside grilled meat or grilled fish recipes<\/a>, or pair it with grains for a well-rounded meal that hits the spot.<\/p>\n In a Dutch oven, bring 1\/2 an inch of water to a boil. Add the broccoli, and cover the pan. Cook for three to five minutes or until crisp-tender. Drain the broccoli.<\/p>\n Mix the olive oil, garlic, salt and Italian seasoning, and toss with the broccoli.<\/p>\n Let the broccoli cool slightly. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.<\/p>\n Cook broccoli will keep for up to four days when stored in the refrigerator.<\/p>\n You can cook broccoli<\/a> using any of your favorite methods, including sauteing, steaming or roasting. Remember that every cooking technique varies in timing, so watch the broccoli to ensure it isn’t over- or undercooked. If you have a cast iron skillet, use it to give the broccoli a nice charred flavor.<\/p>\n Yes, you can substitute another veggie for broccoli. This recipe works well with cauliflower florets, green beans or sliced carrots. You’ll just need to adjust the cooking time accordingly.<\/p>\n We love serving garlic broccoli with baked salmon<\/a> or cast-iron steak<\/a>. It also tastes great with garlic and herb mashed potatoes<\/a>, leafy green salads and buttery dinner rolls<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" My kids love broccoli, especially with lots of garlic.
