Ingredients
- 500 grams Broccoli florets
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 50 grams Desiccated coconut
- 3 units Garlic cloves, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger, grated
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili flakes
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
Directions
Step 1
Begin by washing and thoroughly drying the broccoli florets. Cut any large florets into bite-sized pieces.
Step 2
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 3
Add the broccoli florets to the skillet and sauté them for about 5-7 minutes or until they start to brown and become tender-crisp.
Step 4
While the broccoli is cooking, in a small bowl, combine the remaining tablespoon of olive oil with the finely chopped garlic and grated ginger.
Step 5
Add the garlic and ginger mixture to the skillet with the broccoli. Stir well to coat the florets evenly and cook for an additional 2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant.
Step 6
Sprinkle the red chili flakes, salt, and black pepper over the broccoli and stir to combine.
Step 7
Reduce the heat to low and sprinkle the desiccated coconut over the broccoli. Toss well to ensure the coconut is evenly distributed and begins to slightly toast, about 2 minutes.
Step 8
Remove the skillet from the heat and squeeze the fresh lemon juice over the broccoli. Give it a final toss to incorporate the citrusy flavor.
Step 9
Transfer the keto fried broccoli with desiccated coconut to a serving dish and enjoy as a flavorful side dish or a light main course.
