25 minSteamed broccoli just got a serious upgrade.
Garlic and crushed red pepper sizzle in olive oil, creating a fragrant base for bright green florets.
A splash of dry white wine deglazes the pan, adding acidity that keeps everything fresh rather than heavy.
This is the kind of simple vegetable side that makes people who claim they don’t like broccoli reach for seconds.
Kitchen Tips
- Refresh steamed broccoli under cold water to stop cooking and lock in that vibrant green color
- Use just enough red pepper for warmth without overwhelming the garlic flavor
- Save leftover broccoli to toss with pasta and Parmesan for tomorrow’s lunch
