Pan Fried Broccoli

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

• Ready In: 20 mins
• Serves: 4

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

1. Heat olive oil in a large frying pan or wok.
2. Cook chopped garlic in oil at medium-high heat or until light brown (being careful not to burn).
3. Add broccoli spears to pan. Sprinkle remaining ingredients onto broccoli and toss to combine.
4. 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.
5. Sometimes I like to add a little parmesan cheese to the pan right before the broccoli goes onto the plate.
