Ingredients

  • 1½ lb. broccoli (1 large head)
  • ⅓ cup low-sodium vegetable broth
  • ¼ cup whole wheat panko
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons slivered sun-dried tomatoes (not oil-packed)

Instructions

  • Cut broccoli head into small florets. If you like, peel and thinly slice broccoli stalks. In an extra-large nonstick skillet cook broccoli in broth over medium-high 6 to 8 minutes or until crisp-tender, stirring occasionally.
  • Meanwhile, in a small bowl combine panko and garlic. Add to skillet with sun-dried tomatoes. Cook 2 to 3 minutes or until panko is toasted, stirring frequently. If you like, season with freshly ground black pepper.
