🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

Nutritional yeast is a dairy-free alternative that adds a cheesy flavor.

Take just the crowns of the broccoli.

Put the broccoli crowns into boiling water, making sure they are completely submerged.

Cover the pot and cook for exactly 1 and 1/2 minutes.

Remove the lid and use a spider to take the steamed broccoli out onto a plate.

Clean out the pot used to boil the broccoli.

Add 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil to the pot.

Add about 1 tablespoon of prepared minced garlic to the oil.

Infuse the garlic into the oil over medium heat.

Return the broccoli to the pot with the infused oil.

Season the broccoli with 1 teaspoon of black pepper and 0.5 teaspoon of sea salt.

Stir fry the broccoli in the seasoned olive oil until all flavors are infused and heated through.

Plate the broccoli and serve.
