1
Prepare the Broccoli
Wash the broccoli florets thoroughly under cold water. Cut them into bite-sized pieces if they are large.
2
Mince the Garlic
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves, ensuring that they are small enough to release their flavor while cooking.

3
Sauté the Broccoli
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the broccoli florets and sauté for about 5 minutes until they start to become tender.
4
Add Garlic and Seasonings
Add the minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir well and continue to cook for another 3-4 minutes until the garlic is fragrant and the broccoli is cooked to your desired tenderness.
5
Finish with Lemon Juice
Remove the skillet from heat and drizzle the lemon juice over the broccoli. Toss to combine and adjust seasoning as necessary.

6
Serve
Transfer the sautéed broccoli to a serving dish. Optionally, sprinkle red pepper flakes and nutritional yeast on top for added flavor.
