Applebees Broccoli Recipe
If you’ve ever enjoyed Applebee’s broccoli and wished you could recreate it at home, you’re in luck! This simple yet flavorful recipe brings the restaurant experience straight to your kitchen.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon of minced garlic
- 4 cups of broccoli florets approximately 1 large head of broccoli
- 1 tablespoon of black pepper
- ½ tablespoon of sea salt
Instructions
- Start by boiling water in a pot. Place only the broccoli florets into the boiling water and cook for 1 minute. This quick blanching process ensures the broccoli remains vibrant green and slightly tender. Remove the broccoli and set it aside.
- Clean the sauté pan and place it on medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil and 1 tablespoon of minced garlic. Let the garlic cook until fragrant, ensuring it doesn’t burn. This step infuses the oil with a rich, garlicky flavor.
- Add the blanched broccoli florets to the pan with the garlic-infused oil. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of black pepper and 1/2 tablespoon of sea salt over the broccoli. Stir well to coat each piece evenly with the seasoning and oil.
- Continue stir-frying the broccoli for 3-5 minutes, or until the flavors are thoroughly infused. The broccoli should be tender yet slightly crisp.
