Method
Preparation
Wash the Broccoli
Rinse the head of broccoli under cold running water to remove any dirt or debris.
Cut the Broccoli
Using a sharp knife, cut the broccoli into bite-sized florets. Trim the stem to about 2 inches and cut into smaller pieces if desired.
Mince the Garlic
Peel the garlic cloves and finely mince them using a knife or a garlic press.
Cooking
Heat Olive Oil
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat until shimmering.
Sauté Garlic
Add the minced garlic to the hot oil and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Season Broccoli
Sprinkle the salt and black pepper over the broccoli. Stir well to combine.
Cook Broccoli
Cover the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the broccoli is tender but still bright green.
Add Lemon Juice
Remove the skillet from heat and drizzle the lemon juice over the cooked broccoli. Toss to combine.
