Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Wash and Cut Broccoli

    Rinse the broccoli head under cold water to remove any dirt. Cut off the thick stem end and separate the florets into bite-sized pieces.

  2. 2

    Mince Garlic

    Peel and mince the garlic cloves finely.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Sauté Broccoli

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

  2. 4

    Add Broccoli

    Add the prepared broccoli florets to the skillet. Stir to coat them in the garlic and oil mixture.

  3. 5

    Season and Cook

    Sprinkle salt and black pepper over the broccoli. Sauté for about 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the broccoli is tender but still bright green.

  4. 6

    Finish with Lemon

    Remove the skillet from heat and drizzle lemon juice over the sautéed broccoli. Toss to combine and serve warm.
