Garlic and Red Pepper Flake Steamed Broccoli

Broccoli is one of my favorite vegetables of all time. I could eat it every single day. It's a very healthy vegetable and there are so many ways to change it up each time.

This recipe is very simple and quite delicious. It takes only a few minutes to prepare, which is great for a weeknight side dish.
