A delightful and easy-to-make broccoli dish enhanced with a flavorful garlic butter sauce.
Place the butter in a microwave-safe dish.
Using unsalted butter allows you to control the saltiness of the dish.
Microwave the butter on high for about 30 seconds, or until melted.
Cover the dish with a paper towel to prevent splattering.
Stir in the parsley, minced garlic, white pepper, and red pepper flakes into the melted butter.
Mix thoroughly to ensure the flavors are evenly distributed.
Cut the broccoli into florets and place them in a large microwave-safe bowl.
Cut the florets into even sizes for uniform cooking.
Add the water to the bowl and cover it with wax paper.
The water will create steam to cook the broccoli.
Microwave the broccoli on high for 5 minutes, or until it is crisp-tender.
Check the broccoli halfway through cooking to ensure it doesn't overcook.
Drain the broccoli well and transfer it to a serving dish.
Draining well prevents the dish from becoming watery.
Pour the butter mixture over the broccoli and season with salt to taste.
Toss gently to ensure the broccoli is evenly coated.
Serve the dish warm and enjoy.
Garnish with additional parsley for a fresh look.
