How to make Garlic Butter Broccoli

First start by chopping the broccoli. Remove the crown from the stem and cut the broccoli into bite size pieces.  In a skillet or cast iron pan over medium heat, pour in some olive oil and heat until shimmering.

Add the chopped broccoli to the pan and cook and stir for about 5 minutes, until the broccoli is tender.

Once the broccoli has become a beautiful dark green, you are ready to add in the goodness! Add in a tablespoon of butter and one clove of minced garlic and cook for another 3-5 minutes. Enjoy the delicious buttery garlic smells coming from that pan!!

That’s it! You are in Garlic Butter Broccoli heaven. I have to swat teenager hands out of the pan before serving.

It’s usually half gone before it hits the table. I’m not complaining about that….I feel like it is a win if I can get them to eat broccoli by the handfuls.
