1
Wash the Vegetables
Rinse the broccoli florets and spinach leaves under cold running water to remove any dirt or impurities.
2
Chop the Broccoli
Cut the broccoli into bite-sized florets, ensuring they are of even size for uniform cooking.

3
Sauté the Garlic
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant but not browned.
4
Add Broccoli
Add the broccoli florets to the skillet. Stir well to coat them with the garlic oil. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper.
5
Cook the Broccoli
Sauté the broccoli for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender but still crisp.
6
Add Spinach
Add the spinach leaves to the skillet and stir continuously until the spinach wilts, which will take about 2-3 minutes.
7
Finish with Lemon Juice
Remove from heat and drizzle the lemon juice over the vegetables. Toss gently to combine.

8
Plate the Vegetables
Transfer the sautéed broccoli and spinach to a serving dish. Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese on top before serving.
9
Enjoy
Serve warm as a side dish or over a bed of rice or quinoa for a light meal.
