4 servings
- 1 large head broccoli (about 1.5 lb), cut into florets, stems peeled and chopped
- 1 medium apple (such as honeycrisp or fuji), peeled, cored, and diced
- 2 tbsp coconut oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 8 fresh sage leaves, thinly sliced
- ¼ cup full-fat coconut milk
- ½ tsp ground turmeric
- ¼ tsp ground ginger
- ¾ tsp salt, plus more to taste
- 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
- 1–2 tsp fresh lemon juice (optional)
Instructions
- 1
Fill a large pot with 1 inch of water and bring to a boil over high heat. Set a steamer basket inside, add the broccoli florets and chopped stems, cover, and steam until the broccoli is completely tender and a fork slides through the thickest stem piece with no resistance, about 10–12 minutes. Transfer to a colander and let any excess steam escape for 1 minute.

While the broccoli steams, heat the coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Add the diced apple and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and lightly golden at the edges, about 5–6 minutes.
