Ingredients

  • 1 lb (454g) raw broccoli, cut into florets
  • 1/4 cup (30g) sliced almonds
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt

Instructions

  1. Wash and cut the broccoli into bite-sized florets.
  2. In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast the sliced almonds for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently until golden brown and fragrant. Remove from the pan immediately to prevent burning and set aside.

  4. Transfer the steamed broccoli to a large serving bowl. Drizzle with fresh lemon juice, sprinkle with sea salt, and toss with the toasted almonds. Serve immediately.
