I love broccoli, but it does tend to get a little boring when prepared the same way. I was really excited to find this recipe because it was a quick way to give broccoli an entirely different flavor without needing much time, or tricky ingredients. I really liked this variation for broccoli, and the even better part was that my son, who might surely die if anything naturally grown enters his body, liked it too! It's a mix of flavors that ends up having a sweet and sour taste, it's delicious. It calls for red pepper flakes as well, but I left them out for the sake of the kids. If you're a broccoli fan, give this one a try!
Bravo Broccoli
Ingredients
1 bunch broccoli, cut into florets
1 tablespoon butter (I cut that amount in half and used a light spread)
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1-1/2 teaspoon brown sugar (I use Splenda)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
Directions
1. Place broccoli in a steamer basket; place in a large saucepan over 1 in. of water. Bring to a boil; cover or steam for 3-4 minutes, or until tender. Transfer to a large bowl.
2. Combine the remaining ingredients; drizzle over broccoli and toss to coat.
