Broccoli with Burnt Butter, Almonds & Garlic

broccoli burnt butter almonds recipe

This vibrant dish with Vitamin C loaded broccoli, fragrant garlic, nutty burnt butter and toasted almonds is easy, quick and cheap. I often make it as a side dish to go with our chosen protein for dinner. Since it keeps well in the fridge, I try to make a big batch so we can have some for lunch the next day. It tastes quite moreish, so even your fussy kids might eat broccoli this way.

I am a huge butter advocate (here are some reasons), but if you’re avoiding dairy altogether, you can use ghee (clarified butter) or macadamia oil instead. Almonds can be replaced by macadamia nuts or walnuts.
