Tips:

  • Choose the right broccoli: Look for broccoli with tightly closed florets and a deep green color. Avoid broccoli with yellow or wilted florets.
  • Cut the broccoli into uniform florets: This will help them cook evenly.
  • Don't overcook the broccoli: Broccoli should be cooked until it is tender but still has a slight crunch.
  • Use fresh garlic: Fresh garlic has a much better flavor than garlic powder or garlic salt.
  • Add the garlic at the end of cooking: This will help prevent it from burning.
  • Season the broccoli to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste.
  • Serve the broccoli immediately: Broccoli is best served hot and fresh.
