These Sweet Garlicky Victory Broccoli Stems are a great way to satisfy your cravings during March Madness while staying on track with your keto lifestyle. They have tender broccoli stems, savory garlic, and a touch of sweetness.
Ingredients: 4 broccoli stems, peeled and sliced into thin strips. 2 tablespoons olive oil. 3 cloves garlic, minced. 2 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari. 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar. 1 tablespoon low-carb sweetener such as erythritol or stevia. Salt and pepper to taste. Optional: crushed red pepper flakes for heat.
Instructions: In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and saut until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add broccoli stems and saut until tender yet crisp, about 5-7 minutes. In a small bowl, mix soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, and sweetener until combined. Pour the sauce over the broccoli stems and toss to coat evenly. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and sprinkle with optional crushed red pepper flakes for heat, if desired. Remove from heat and serve hot as a delicious keto-friendly side dish or snack.
