1
Roasting the Garlic
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut the tops off the garlic bulbs to expose the cloves. Drizzle with a little olive oil and wrap each bulb in aluminum foil. Place them on a baking sheet and roast for about 30-35 minutes, until the cloves are soft and golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool.
2
Preparing the Broccoli
While the garlic is roasting, wash and cut the broccoli into florets. Make sure to cut them into even sizes for uniform cooking.

3
Sautéing the Broccoli
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the broccoli florets and sauté for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until bright green and tender-crisp.
4
Adding Seasoning
Season the sautéed broccoli with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Stir well to combine and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
5
Incorporating Roasted Garlic
Once the garlic is cool enough to handle, squeeze the roasted cloves out of their skins into the skillet with the broccoli. Add lemon juice and mix well.

6
Final Touches
Remove the skillet from heat. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve warm as a side dish.
