Garlic Butter Broccoli

Garlic Butter really makes everything better and this garlic butter broccoli is proof! This is the broccoli everyone will eat, even those picky eaters.

It’s one of those crazy nights, everyone has to be in a different place at the same time!! You’ve got your main dish planned and ready to go, but what are you going to eat besides that chicken tonight?!

I’ve got your back!! This Garlic Butter Broccoli is your answer! Not only is broccoli so good for you, it is easy and quick to put together and of course goes good with whatever you are serving for dinner!

Chop the broccoli by removing the crown from the stem and cut the broccoli into bite size pieces.  The broccoli is then sauteed in a pan on medium heat in a tablespoon of olive oil.

This can also be done with frozen broccoli if that is what you have on hand. You can cook the broccoli in the microwave according to the package instructions and then saute in the pan with garlic and butter.

The broccoli will become a beautiful dark green and you are ready to add in the goodness! Add in a tablespoon of butter and one clove of minced garlic and saute 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.

Let me know if you try this recipe!! I would love to hear how it turned out for you!
