How to Make Sauteed Broccoli

Making Sauteed Broccoli only requires a couple minutes at the stovetop! It’s a really easy side dish that pairs great with some of my favorite main dishes like Bacon Pasta, Honey Garlic Salmon, or Chicken Parmesan.

1. Start by heating a little butter in a skillet. Add fresh garlic and sauté it for 10 seconds, until it gets just a little browned.
2. Add in the broccoli and cook, turning occasionally, until the florets are fork-tender and the edges begin to brown a little bit. This will only take a couple minutes!
3. Remove it from the heat and finish it with a squeeze of lemon and fresh Parmesan!

Health Benefits of Broccoli

Broccoli is high in fiber, vitamins C and K, and filled with antioxidants. Making Sautéed Broccoli for dinner is a great way to get this nutrition and health benefits into your diet! Sprinkling cheese on top helps kids who might be unsure about eating greens to give it a try.
