Ingredients

• 500 grams Fresh broccoli
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Honey
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Optional red pepper flakes
• 4 tablespoons Water

Directions

Step 1

Wash and chop the broccoli into bite-sized florets. Peel and slice the garlic cloves thinly.

Step 2

Fill a large pot with 2 inches of water and fit a steamer basket inside. Bring the water to a simmer over medium heat.

Step 3

Place the broccoli florets in the steamer basket, cover, and steam for 5-7 minutes or until the broccoli is vibrant green and tender-crisp.

Step 4

While the broccoli is steaming, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat.

Step 5

Add the sliced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant and slightly golden, being careful not to burn it.

Step 6

Add the balsamic vinegar, honey, water, salt, black pepper, and optional red pepper flakes to the skillet. Stir well and let the sauce simmer for 2-3 minutes, reducing slightly.

Step 7

Remove the steamed broccoli from the pot and transfer it to a serving dish.

Step 8

Drizzle the balsamic sauce over the broccoli, ensuring even coverage, and toss gently to combine.

Step 9

Serve immediately as a side dish or light vegetable course.
