Ingredients
- 4 cups Broccoli crowns
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 0.5 teaspoons Red pepper flakes
- 0.5 cups Dry white wine
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 0.25 cups Parmesan cheese, grated
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Wash and cut the broccoli crowns into bite-sized florets, and set aside.
Step 2
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Step 3
Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes to the skillet, and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
Step 4
Add the broccoli florets to the skillet and toss to coat them evenly in the garlic and olive oil mixture.
Step 5
Pour the white wine over the broccoli and immediately cover the skillet with a lid. Let the broccoli steam for 5 minutes over medium heat.
Step 6
Remove the lid and continue to cook for another 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the wine reduces and the broccoli is tender but still slightly crisp.
Step 7
Stir in the lemon zest, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Step 8
Transfer the broccoli to a serving platter and garnish with additional Parmesan cheese, if desired.
Step 9
Serve warm as a side dish, and enjoy!
