Ingredients

• 4 cups broccoli florets
• 1 large yellow onion
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoons red pepper flakes
• 2 tablespoons water

Directions

Step 1

Wash the broccoli florets thoroughly and pat them dry. Set aside.

Step 2

Peel and slice the yellow onion thinly into half-moon shapes.

Step 3

Mince the garlic cloves and set them aside.

Step 4

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 5

Add the sliced onions to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they become soft and slightly golden.

Step 6

Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute, stirring frequently to prevent burning.

Step 7

Add the broccoli florets to the skillet and stir to combine with the onions and garlic.

Step 8

Sprinkle the salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes over the vegetables, and stir to coat evenly.

Step 9

Pour in 2 tablespoons of water, cover the skillet with a lid, and allow the broccoli to steam for 3-4 minutes until it becomes vibrant green and tender-crisp.

Step 10

Remove the lid and cook for another 2 minutes, stirring occasionally, to evaporate any remaining water and enhance the flavor.

Step 11

Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. Serve hot as a side dish to your meal.
