"This is my husband's creation. When he makes it, he uses double the amount of red pepper flakes. My man likes his spices!"

ingredients
- 2 cups broccoli, speared
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (or more if desired)
- 1 garlic clove, chopped
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
- 1⁄4 teaspoon pepper
- 1⁄8 teaspoon red pepper flakes
directions
- Heat olive oil in a large frying pan or wok.
- Cook chopped garlic in oil at medium-high heat or until light brown (being careful not to burn).
- Add broccoli spears to pan. Sprinkle remaining ingredients onto broccoli and toss to combine.
- Cover and cook for 7-10 minutes or until broccoli heads begin to darken (but not burn), stirring every minute or so. If necessary, lower the heat.
- Sometimes I like to add a little parmesan cheese to the pan right before the broccoli goes onto the plate.

First try at fried broccoli. AWESOME! Can't wait to make a double or triple portion next time! -
Just like "my hunny," I had one crown of broccoli I was looking to use up and this was perfect! Starting to get sick of plain steamed broccoli, and this was just the fix! Loved the crispness and flavor, and it was SOOO simple! -
This was excellent , and I used up the broccoli that was on its next to the last leg:) I have to say that i think adding the parmesan after cooked made it extra special. Thank you for this recipe I will be making again -
I give this one 5 stars for taste and ease of cooking. Was looking for a quick way to get a veggie on the table tonight. Loved this one! Thanks for posting. Sprinkled parmesan/romano blend on top before serving. -
Yummy! This is exactly how I do green beans. I don't use the red pepper but use lots more garlic.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
<p>My name is Rebecca, but my family and friends call me Becky. I am 33 years old and live in Rochester, New York, USA. I am a life-long resident of Western New York and can't say as I'd ever want to live anywhere else. I grew up on a small dairy farm in rural Western New York and love country living. Although my husband and I live in a suburb right now, we hope someday to move back to our roots and live a peaceful country life. <br /><br />My husband and I have been married for 10 years. We have a beautiful 5-year-old daughter and a 3-year-old son. I am amazed at how quickly our kids are growing and developing. I read a lot about and hold my own personal skepticism regarding the affects of additives such as preservatives, hormones, artificial colorings, artificial sweeteners, caffeine, allergens, etc. With the increasing number of children and adults with food allergies, I am suspicious that the last century of our nation's food industry improvements have contributed. I'm doing the best I can to protect my family from the risks, but it is difficult to avoid every additive. I have friends and family with food allergies and know how difficult it is to cope with food restrictions. I enjoy the challenge of cooking for those with food allergies but can't imagine making it an every-day affair.</p>
