Time 25m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

1/4 cup olive oil
2 teaspoons orange zest, plus juice from 1 large orange
Coarse salt and freshly cracked black pepper

2 large garlic cloves, peeled and smashed

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.

Categories     Vegetable

Time 20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 cup orange juice
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
2 teaspoons honey
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
4 cups broccoli, cut into small flowerets

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, combine orange juice, soy sauce, ginger, garlic powder, honey, and cornstarch.
  • Mix until corn starch is dissolved.
  • Set aside.
  • Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.

  • Stir orange juice mixture and pour over broccoli.
  • Cook, stirring, for a few minutes, until broccoli is evenly coated and sauce is thick and clear.

Tips:

  • Choose the right broccoli: Select broccoli crowns that are deep green in color and have tightly closed florets. Avoid crowns with yellowing or wilted florets, as these may indicate that the broccoli is past its prime.
  • Prepare the broccoli properly: Before cooking, trim the broccoli florets from the stems and rinse them thoroughly under cold water. You can leave the florets whole or cut them into smaller pieces, depending on your preference.
  • Don't overcook the broccoli: Broccoli is best when it is cooked until tender-crisp. Overcooking can make it mushy and bland. Steam or stir-fry the broccoli for just a few minutes, or until it reaches your desired tenderness.
  • Use a variety of cooking methods: There are many different ways to cook broccoli, so don't be afraid to experiment. You can steam, stir-fry, roast, or even microwave broccoli. Each cooking method will produce a slightly different flavor and texture.
  • Add flavor with seasonings and sauces: Broccoli is a versatile vegetable that can be paired with a variety of flavors. Try adding garlic, ginger, lemon juice, or soy sauce to your broccoli dishes. You can also make a simple cream sauce or cheese sauce to serve with broccoli.

Conclusion:

Broccoli is a delicious and nutritious vegetable that can be enjoyed in many different ways. With its mild flavor and versatility, broccoli is a great addition to any meal.
