How to make Skillet Roasted Broccoli

In a small bowl combine water, garlic powder (if using), salt, and pepper until salt dissolves. Set aside.

In a large skillet, with a lid, over medium to medium high heat, place oil and heat until oil shimmers or a drop of water flicked in it dances.

Add broccoli stems and in an even layer cook, until browned on their surface, between 2 and 3 minutes. 

Next add florets to your skillet and stir until combined.

Allow florets to brown as well. About 2 to 3 more minutes.

Add water mixture and cover.

Cook until broccoli starts to become bright green but is still slightly hard, about 2 more minutes.

Uncover and continue to cook until all or almost all of the water has evaporated.

Broccoli stems and florets should be tender, about 2 minutes more.

Serve and enjoy!
