Broccoli Rice with Lemon

This simple and healthy dish transforms broccoli into a delicious and low-carb alternative to rice. It's quick, flavorful, and full of nutrients, making it a perfect side dish for any meal.

Ingredients

• 1 (12 ounce) bag broccoli florets

Directions

Step 1: Place half of the broccoli florets in a food processor. Pulse about 20 times until the broccoli resembles grains of rice. Repeat with the remaining florets.

Step 2: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add the minced onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened (about 3 minutes).

Step 3: Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds, allowing it to become fragrant.

Step 4: Add the broccoli rice to the skillet, along with the salt and pepper. Stir well to combine.

Step 5: Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and cook for about 5 minutes, or until the broccoli is tender and has softened to your liking.

Step 6: Once done, remove from heat and squeeze fresh lemon juice over the broccoli rice. Stir to incorporate.
