Notes
Make this recipe even faster by buying a bag of broccoli. However, take 2-3 minutes to chop the florets down into bite size pieces for even cooking.Can you substitute frozen broccoli for fresh in these recipes?
Yes. Make sure you defrost the broccoli enough that you can easily separate the florets (about 1 hour in the fridge), for the best result.
Preheat the pan, add the avocado oil and the frozen (defrosted) broccoli florets. Add a lid to the pan and cook 8 minutes, stirring occasionally. Do not add any additional water.
Take the pan off the heat and add your favorite ingredients to add flavor!
Lemon Tahini Broccoli:Tahini can also be substituted with almond butter or sunflower seed butter depending on what you have on hand.Sun Dried Tomato Broccoli:Use sun dried tomatoes in olive oil! Check the ingredients to make sure the sun dried tomatoes are packed in olive oil for the best flavor! Be sure to use the sun dried tomatoes and the oil in the recipe to really get the broccoli coated with sun dried tomato flavor.Sesame Ginger Broccoli:I love to buy jars of freshly grated ginger to keep on hand. This way I don’t have to spend time peeling and grating the ginger when making a quick weeknight meal!“Bread crumb” BroccoliThe almond flour needs to toast on the stove but can easily burn. After 5 minutes on the stove, keep a close eye on this mixture and stir frequently. Do not walk away from this mixture or it may burn.
