Ingredients 

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 pound broccoli florets
  • ½-1 teaspoon red pepper flakes adjust to taste
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • ¼ cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 teaspoons brown sugar

Instructions

  • Warm the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the broccoli and season generously with red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Stir to coat and then cook without stirring for 2 minutes.
  • Add 2 tablespoons of water and cover with lid. Cook 2 minutes without stirring. Uncover and cook until the water has evaporated and the broccoli is crisp-tender, about 1 minute more.
  • While the broccoli finishes cooking, combine the Parmesan cheese and brown sugar; set aside. Remove the broccoli from the heat and top with the Parmesan mixture.
