Microwave Lemon Garlic Broccoli

Reviews

• "I think this has just the right amount of lemon to garlic and it is so easy. I used fresh broccoli and left out the red pepper flakes. I loved the ability to use fresh garlic and not get the raw garlic taste."

• "Well this was fast and easy! I will use this recipe for those rushed dinner nights (with sports nights, that happens a lot!). I used the garlic powder. Thanks!"

• "Excellent way to fix broccoli. I used fresh broccoli and cooked it in my steamer (rice cooker). I did not add any salt or red pepper flakes, but I did let the mixture sit while the broccoli was steaming. The garlic flavor really came through and made other seasoning unnecessary (for me). My kids weren't overly impressed, but my husband and I both enjoyed it very much!"

• "Very nice way to liven up broccoli! I used frozen broccoli, fresh lemon juice and left out the pepper flakes. Next time I'll use fresh broccoli and include the pepper. Made for Best of 2010 Tag Game."

• "Great and Easy! I don't love broccoli. We are trying to eat healthier foods and I don't love to cook. So, this is perfect. It is flavorful and so easy to make. My husband liked it to. Thanks!"

• "This was great and so much healthier than some of my casseroles. I loved that it was in the microwave for just a few minutes so it was still nice and green."

• "Really easy recipe! The red pepper flakes really make the lemon/garlic mixture pop, so I wouldn't neglect them. I'm not a big fan of spicy but they added the perfect amount of flavor."

• "I made this recipe almost exactly as specified and it got rave reviews from 3 broccoli HATERS! I did used minced garlic from a jar rather than either powder or mincing my own. I chose to use the optional red pepper flakes and I highly recommend them. This had SO much flavor and actually made me *want* to eat the broccoli (I'd bought it to be healthy, I honestly think that plain broccoli tastes like lawn clippings). It was so good I made it again the very next night but with only 1 tbsp of olive oil and a bit more lemon juice. Result was the same...delicious. Overall I suggest only 1 tbsp of oil and adding the red pepper flakes."

• "We only used about half of the mixture on the broccoli, and it was really all it needed. Personally I loved it, but other members of my family said it was too salty. I didn't add the red pepper flakes in the mix, but I sprinkled them on afterward, which was great. We used garlic powder. Very simple recipe!"

• "Super easy, fast and full of flavor! Served it with barbequed chicken and brown rice. Perfect weeknight dinner. Made for Healthy Choices tag."

• "This is NOT HEALTHY at all. Microwaving vegetables completely defeats the purpose of having vegetables. It takes all of the nutrients out. You may ass well just eat garlic and lemon by itself, because the broccoli loses all nutritional value."

• "This was very bland, I thought I added some butter and it still didn't liven it up any...."

• "What a nice, simple way to enjoy broccoli! I used fresh broccoli, garlic infused olive oil, a bit of garlic powder, and bottled lemon juice. So easy, and a nice change from the everyday broccoli and butter. The pepper flakes gave it a nice kick. Thanks for posting a great weeknight side!"

• "I didn't care for this. I like my food served HOT (as in temperature) and it seemed as though this got cool really quick,and besides that, the flavor was just OK 4 me. I might make again?"
