Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Broccoli

    Wash the broccoli florets thoroughly under cold water. Cut the florets into smaller, bite-sized pieces if they are large.

  2. 2

    Chop the Garlic

    Peel and finely chop the garlic cloves.

  3. 3

    Slice the Bell Pepper

    Remove the seeds and stem from the red bell pepper, then slice it into thin strips.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat until it shimmers.

  2. 5

    Add Garlic and Broccoli

    Add the chopped garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Then, add the broccoli florets and sauté for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  3. 6

    Incorporate Bell Pepper

    Add the sliced red bell pepper to the skillet and continue to sauté for another 3-4 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.

  4. 7

    Season the Vegetables

    Sprinkle the salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes over the vegetables. Toss everything together to ensure even seasoning.

Serving

  1. 8

    Garnish and Serve

    If desired, drizzle lemon juice over the sautéed broccoli and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese before serving. Serve hot as a side dish.
