Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients:

1 large head of broccoli, cut into florets
2 tbsp butter
1 tbsp olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
¼ tsp salt
¼ tsp black pepper
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese (freshly grated preferred)

Optional: Red pepper flakes or lemon zest for extra flavor.

Instructions

Steam the Broccoli: Fill a pot with a few inches of water and add a steamer basket. Bring to a boil, add broccoli, cover, and steam for 4–5 minutes until crisp-tender. Drain and set aside.
Sauté Garlic: In a large skillet, heat butter and olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook 1–2 minutes until fragrant (do not brown).
Add Broccoli: Add steamed broccoli to the skillet. Season with salt and pepper, and toss to coat in the garlic butter mixture.
Add Parmesan: Remove from heat and sprinkle with grated parmesan. Toss lightly until evenly coated.
Serve: Transfer to a serving bowl and enjoy immediately while warm.

Notes

Do not over-steam the broccoli—keep it bright green and slightly firm.
Use fresh garlic for the best flavor.
Grate your own parmesan; it melts better and adds richer taste.
Add a squeeze of lemon juice for a bright finish.
Make it spicy with a pinch of red pepper flakes if desired.
