I was thinking about making my Sesame Garlic Broccoli when (gasp!) I discovered not a sesame seed in the house.  I tossed in sunflower seeds and red pepper flakes and called it good.  And it was!  Here it is in it’s easy-peasy glory.  I liked using coconut oil with this as it gave a buttery flavor that really enhanced the dish.  Enjoy!

The Recipe: Sautéed Broccoli with Sunflower Seeds

Instructions 

  • Heat coconut oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add broccoli, salt and red pepper flakes, sautéing until broccoli is crisp-tender. Add sunflower seeds and toss until combined.
