1
Prepare the Broccoli
Rinse the head of broccoli under cold water. Cut off the thick stem and separate the florets into bite-sized pieces.
2
Mince the Garlic
Peel the garlic cloves and mince them finely using a knife or garlic press.

3
Heat the Olive Oil
In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat until it shimmers.
4
Add Garlic and Broccoli
Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Then, add the broccoli florets.
5
Season and Sauté
Sprinkle the salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes over the broccoli. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the broccoli is tender and bright green.
6
Serve
Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the sautéed broccoli to a serving dish. Serve immediately as a side dish.
