Fresh broccoli bursting with flavor, and ready in less than 10? In a veggie rut and want something a little more zangy? This side dish was born of these two desires. I get SO sick of plain old steamed broccoli and wanted to way to flavor it up and and make it sing. You will love this simple, flavorful side!
1 pound broccoli florets, and the peeled and diced stalks
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon red chili flakes
1/4 teaspoon (or more to taste) garlic salt
2 tablespoons grated pecorino romano (we seem to tolerate sheep’s milk cheeses in moderation here, but this is delicious without this as well!)
Steam the broccoli for 2-3 minutes, until barely tender and quite crunchy. Set aside. Heat the olive oil in a medium skillet. Add in the chili flakes and saute for 30 seconds to a minute until fragrant. Toss in the broccoli, sprinkle with the salt, and quickly stir up to mix the flavors. Turn off the heat, sprinkle the cheese over the top and serve! Add more garlic salt if you like.

When her third child was born with severe food allergies, Tessa took to the kitchen to figure out how to feed her family well. Always up for a culinary challenge, their journey has taken many twists and turns! Lots of Paleo, and lots of top 8 free. Good food for families, that's what she's about!
I’m a big fan of red chili flakes, but have never tried them on broccoli before. This looks like a tasty recipe Tessa and I love how quick and easy it is!
Me too, it’s coming with me on vacation b/c of the fact it is so easy to pack/prepare!
I look forward to trying this. Broccoli is our favorite vegetable. Can’t get enough of it.
What a great idea! Thanks for sharing at Scrumptious Sunday!
I have made this recipe before and it is delicious. The first time I was a little to heavy on the red chili flakes and we could barely eat it!
yes, you definitely have to be careful…those chili flakes can go a long way! I am glad you liked it!
This looks delicious. I love food with a little kick to it.
Thanks so much Rose, you and me both love the kick….now if only I could convince my kids that’s the way to go….so much for kids liking what you eat during pregnancy!
The additional of chili flakes is excellent! I love things with a little extra spice! Great tip to make broccoli (or any veggie) more exciting
Thanks Jen…sometimes it is just the simplest things that make a difference!
What a great idea to add those lovely spices to your broccoli! Broccoli really is one of our favourite recipes and it’s great to have another way to prepare it. Thank you for sharing this recipe
