Broccoli Rice image

What a great low-carb side dish! Tasty alone or as a replacement for rice under your favorite stir-fry or sauce. This also makes a great filling for tacos, over a grain bowl, or cool and toss in a salad. Add other herbs and flavors as desired!

1 (12 ounce) bag broccoli florets
2 tablespoons olive oil
