Broccoli With Red Pepper Flakes And Toasted Garlic Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450°F. Toss broccoli and 3 tablespoons oil in large bowl to coat. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Transfer to rimmed baking sheet. Roast 15 minutes. Stir remaining 1/2 tablespoon oil, garlic, and red pepper in small bowl. Drizzle garlic mixture over broccoli; toss to coat. Roast until broccoli is beginning to brown, about 8 minutes longer. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a large (12-inch) skillet over medium-high. Add the broccoli stems, season with salt and pepper, and cook, undisturbed, until starting to brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the florets, season generously with salt and pepper, and shake into an even layer. Cook, undisturbed, until browned, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Add the garlic and red-pepper flakes and stir until the garlic is fragrant, less than 1 minute. Reduce heat to medium, add 3 tablespoons water, cover, and cook until the broccoli is bright green and fork-tender, 2 to 3 minutes, reducing heat if needed to prevent burning. Season to taste with salt, pepper and red-pepper flakes.

Steps:

• In a small skillet over medium-low heat combine the olive oil, garlic and red pepper flakes.
• Heat, stirring frequently, just until the garlic begins to turn golden on the edges, approximately 1-2 minutes.
• Remove from heat, strain through a fine-mesh sieve, reserving the oil and garlic in separate containers.
• Cut the broccoli into florets, trimming the stalks until they are about 1-2 inches long.
• Place the cut broccoli in steamer basket over boiling water, cover tightly and stem until crisp tender, 4-6 minutes.
• Place broccoli immediately into a serving dish, sprinkle with garlic flakes and 1 tablespoon of the oil.
• Serve.
• The remaining oil can be saved and used in other dishes later.

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add broccoli, salt, crushed red pepper and sliced garlic.
• Saute 2 minutes. Add 1/4 cup water.
• Cover, reduce heat to low and cook for 2 minutes or until broccoli is crisp tender.
