1
Wash the Broccolini
Rinse the broccolini under cold running water to remove any dirt or debris. Shake off excess water.
2
Prepare the Garlic
Peel the garlic cloves and finely chop them or leave them whole if you prefer a milder garlic flavor.
3
Zest and Juice the Lemon
Using a microplane or zester, zest the lemon, then cut it in half and juice it. Set both the zest and juice aside.

4
Heat the Olive Oil
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat until shimmering.
5
Sauté the Garlic
Add the chopped garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 1 minute, until fragrant but not browned.
6
Add the Broccolini
Add the broccolini to the skillet and toss it in the garlic oil. Cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the broccolini is tender and bright green.
7
Season the Broccolini
Season the sautéed broccolini with salt, black pepper, the zest, and juice of the lemon. Toss to coat evenly.
8
Serve
Transfer the broccolini to a serving dish and enjoy while hot.
