Step 1

Thoroughly wash the broccoli in cold water to remove any dirt from between the florets.

Step 2

Cut off the tough tip of the stem of each head of broccoli, then cut the heads lengthwise along the individual florets, toward the stem and about 4 inch long. Each piece will look like a little tree.

Step 3

Place the broccoli trees into a pot and add ¼ cup water. Bring to a boil with the lid closed for 10 minutes over medium high heat.

Step 4

Open the lid, drain, and let it cool down for a few minutes.

Step 5

Make a coating sauce by combining the olive oil, kosher salt, sugar, garlic, dried and crushed chili pepper, ground black pepper, and vinegar in a large mixing bowl.

Step 6

Add the broccoli to the coating sauce and mix it all together.

Step 7

Serve warm or cold as a side dish for barbecue or any type of meat dish, or as a snack.
