Tips:
- Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready to go. This will help you stay organized and make the cooking process more efficient.
- Choose high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will directly impact the taste of your dish. Whenever possible, use fresh, organic produce and high-quality olive oil.
- Roast the garlic ahead of time: Roasted garlic is a great way to add flavor to dishes. You can roast garlic in the oven or in a toaster oven. Once roasted, the garlic can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the broccoli, make sure you don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the broccoli from cooking evenly.
- Season to taste: Be sure to season the broccoli with salt and pepper to taste. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
