Fresh Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 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. 2

    Mince the Garlic

    Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves. Set aside.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Heat the Olive Oil

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat until it's hot but not smoking.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 7

    Add Cheese

    Remove the skillet from the heat and sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the broccoli, tossing gently to combine.
