- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Optional red pepper flakes
- 4 tablespoons Water
Directions
Step 1
Wash and chop the broccoli into bite-sized florets. Peel and slice the garlic cloves thinly.
Step 2
Fill a large pot with 2 inches of water and fit a steamer basket inside. Bring the water to a simmer over medium heat.
Step 3
Place the broccoli florets in the steamer basket, cover, and steam for 5-7 minutes or until the broccoli is vibrant green and tender-crisp.
Step 4
While the broccoli is steaming, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat.
Step 5
Add the sliced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant and slightly golden, being careful not to burn it.
Step 6
Add the balsamic vinegar, honey, water, salt, black pepper, and optional red pepper flakes to the skillet. Stir well and let the sauce simmer for 2-3 minutes, reducing slightly.
Step 7
Remove the steamed broccoli from the pot and transfer it to a serving dish.
Step 8
Drizzle the balsamic sauce over the broccoli, ensuring even coverage, and toss gently to combine.
