How Does Olive Garden Season Its Fan-Favorite Broccoli?
By Branden C. Potter
Olive Garden's customers love its seasoned broccoli. By adding simple ingredients like garlic and herbs, the restaurant transforms an ordinary side dish into something delicious.
An Olive Garden cook on Reddit said that they microwave the broccoli for about three minutes and sprinkle it with Olive Garden seasoning — garlic salt and Italian Cheese Blend.
They then explained how they used to heat the broccoli with water but swapped it for seasoned oil infused with spices like garlic and herbs.
Another user on the same board, claiming to be an Olive Garden chef, writes about a different approach that uses olive oil, garlic, and red pepper.
These ingredients are then poured over the top of the broccoli, microwaved for one minute and 45 seconds, and then sprinkled with parm/parsley seasoning.
