Here’s my go-to pan-fried broccoli to make on the regular! This basic method is ultra versatile and makes flavorful, crisp-tender veggies.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 pounds fresh broccoli, stem on (about 3 large heads or 6 heaping cups florets)
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon dry mustard powder (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions

  1. Chop the broccoli into medium-sized florets. (Leave a good amount of the stem for a nice shape.)
  2. In a small bowl, mix together 1/4 cup water with garlic powder, onion powder, and mustard powder.
  3. Add the olive oil to a large skillet and heat it on medium-high heat. Add broccoli and salt.
  4. Cook 2 to 3 minutes until starting to brown, stirring occasionally. 
  5. Reduce heat to medium, and add the water and spices.
  6. Cook an additional 4 to 5 minutes until fork tender, stirring occasionally.
  7. Taste and add additional salt and black pepper as necessary.
  8. Serve immediately. Leftovers last up to 3 to 4 days refrigerated.
