Ingredients
- 1 pound Broccoli
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1 cup Milk
- 1 cup Sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Paprika
Directions
Step 1
Wash and cut the broccoli into florets.
Step 2
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the broccoli florets and cook for 3-4 minutes, until bright green and tender-crisp.
Step 3
Drain the broccoli and immediately transfer it to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Drain again and set aside.
Step 4
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter.
Step 5
Whisk in the gluten-free flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly until the mixture is bubbly and lightly golden.
Step 6
Slowly add the milk, whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Cook until the sauce begins to thicken, about 3-4 minutes.
Step 7
Gradually stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until melted and smooth.
Step 8
Season the cheese sauce with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Mix well.
Step 9
Remove the saucepan from heat. Arrange the broccoli on a serving platter and pour the cheese sauce over the broccoli.
Step 10
Serve immediately and enjoy your gluten-free broccoli with cheese sauce.
