1
Prep the Broccoli
Wash the broccoli florets thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt and pesticides. Cut them into bite-sized pieces if they are not already prepped.
2
Mince the Garlic
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves. Set aside.

3
Heat the Olive Oil
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat until it's hot but not smoking.
4
Sauté the Garlic
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to let it burn.
5
Cook the Broccoli
Add the broccoli florets to the skillet, stirring to coat them in the garlic oil. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the broccoli is tender but still crisp.
6
Season the Broccoli
Sprinkle the salt and black pepper over the broccoli, and add the lemon juice. Stir well to combine and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
7
Add Cheese
Remove the skillet from the heat and sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the broccoli, tossing gently to combine.
