Ingredients




1 pound broccoli florets (about 2 heads)
2 tablespoons coconut oil
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1/4 cup water or chicken broth
3/4 teaspoon sea salt or more if desired
1 tablespoon coconut aminos (optional)

Preparation

1 Prepare broccoli by removing the stems and cutting into florets if using broccoli heads. Set aside. 2 In a large sautépan (with a lid), heat coconut oil over medium heat for about 5 minutes. (It might take less time for the oil to heat up on a gas stove.) 3 Add garlic and stir until fragrant, about 30 seconds. 4 Place broccoli florets in the pan, followed by salt, and sauté for about a minute. 5 Pour water or broth over the broccoli and cover to steam for 5 minutes or until the broccoli is tender. 6 Optionally, stir in a tablespoon coconut aminos to add a bit of umami flavor. Enjoy!
