  • Add the diced onion and sauté for 2–3 minutes until soft and slightly golden.
  • Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds, ensuring it doesn’t burn.

STEP 3: ADD THE VEGETABLES

  • Add the broccoli florets to the skillet and stir well to coat them in the garlic and onion mixture.
  • Season with salt, black pepper, paprika, oregano, and chili flakes if using.
  • Stir everything together and let the broccoli cook for 5 minutes on low heat.

STEP 4: ASSEMBLE THE CASSEROLE
