Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 large head broccoli (about 5 cups florets)
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tbsp water
  • 1 tsp lemon juice

Method
 

  1. Cut the broccoli into roughly 1.5-inch florets, keeping them close to the same size.
  2. Melt the 3 tbsp butter in a large skillet over medium heat, add the minced garlic, and stir for 30 seconds until fragrant and pale gold.
  3. Add the broccoli, sprinkle in the 1/2 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp pepper, and 1/4 tsp onion powder, toss to coat, then add the 1 tbsp water and spread into a single layer.
  4. Cover and cook on medium heat for 4 minutes, then remove the lid and cook for 1 to 2 more minutes until edges are lightly colored and the broccoli is tender-crisp.
  5. Remove from heat, add the 1 tsp lemon juice, toss, transfer to a serving dish, and spoon any remaining garlic butter over the top.

Notes

This recipe is best served right away. If you're making it alongside other dishes, keep it covered in the skillet off the heat for up to 5 minutes and it'll hold fine. The one thing to avoid is overcooking it before you're ready to plate — it's much harder to fix soft broccoli than it is to give it an extra minute of heat.
