1
Prepare the Broccoli
Using a sharp knife, cut the broccoli head into bite-sized florets. Rinse them under cold water to remove any dirt or debris.
2
Mince the Garlic
Peel the garlic cloves and mince them finely using a knife or a garlic press.
3
Prepare the Lemon
Cut the lemon in half. You will need the juice for seasoning and you can slice the other half for garnish.

4
Sauté the Broccoli
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
5
Add Broccoli
Add the broccoli florets to the skillet. Season with salt and black pepper. Stir well to coat the broccoli in the oil and garlic.
6
Cook Until Tender
Sauté the broccoli for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the florets are bright green and tender but still crisp.
7
Add Lemon Juice
Remove the skillet from heat and squeeze the juice of half the lemon over the broccoli. Toss to combine.
8
Serve
Transfer the sautéed broccoli to a serving dish and garnish with lemon slices. Enjoy!
