Ingredients
- 1 head broccoli
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Cut the broccoli into florets and the stalks into smaller pieces. Use a food processor to pulse the broccoli florets and stalks until they resemble rice grains in size and texture. Work in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding.
Step 2
Peel and mince the garlic cloves.
Step 3
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Step 4
Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to let it burn.
Step 5
Add the broccoli rice to the skillet, stirring well to combine it with the garlic and oil.
Step 6
Season with salt and black pepper, continuing to cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently until the broccoli rice is tender yet still slightly crisp.
Step 7
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the lemon zest and chopped fresh parsley for a burst of freshness.
Step 8
Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary before serving. Serve hot as a side dish to your favorite keto-friendly meal.
