1
Wash the Broccoli
Rinse the fresh broccoli under cool running water to remove any dirt or pesticides.
2
Cut the Broccoli
Using a sharp knife, cut the broccoli into bite-sized florets. Trim the thick stem, and slice it into smaller pieces if desired.
3
Prepare the Garlic
Peel the garlic cloves and mince them finely using a knife or garlic press.

4
Heat the Olive Oil
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat until it shimmers.
5
Sauté the Garlic
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 30 seconds, or until fragrant but not browned.
6
Add the Broccoli
Add the broccoli florets and stems to the skillet. Stir well to coat them in the garlic and olive oil.
7
Season and Cook
Sprinkle salt and black pepper over the broccoli. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the broccoli is bright green and tender-crisp.
8
Finish with Lemon Juice
Remove the skillet from heat and drizzle the lemon juice over the cooked broccoli. Toss to combine and enhance the flavor.
