1
Prepare the Broccoli
Rinse the fresh broccoli florets under cold running water to remove any dirt or impurities. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towel.
2
Mince the Garlic
Peel the garlic cloves and finely mince them using a knife or a garlic press. Set aside.

3
Heat the Olive Oil
In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat until the oil is shimmering but not smoking.
4
Sauté the Garlic
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 30 seconds, stirring frequently to prevent burning until fragrant.
5
Cook the Broccoli
Add the prepared broccoli florets to the skillet. Stir well to coat with the garlic and olive oil. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the broccoli is bright green and tender-crisp.
6
Season the Broccoli
Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of salt and 1 teaspoon of black pepper over the broccoli. Stir well to combine and cook for another 1-2 minutes.
7
Finish with Lemon Juice
Remove the skillet from heat and drizzle 1 tablespoon of lemon juice over the broccoli. Toss gently to combine.

8
Plate and Serve
Transfer the garlic broccoli to a serving dish and serve immediately while warm. Enjoy!
