1
Prepare the Broccolini
Rinse the broccolini under cold water to remove any dirt. Trim the tough ends of the stems, about 1 inch from the bottom.
2
Mince the Garlic
Peel and mince the garlic cloves finely, ensuring they are well chopped for even distribution in the dish.
3
Prepare the Lemon
Cut the lemon in half. Set aside one half for garnishing and juice the other half for flavoring.

4
Sauté the Broccolini
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
5
Add Broccolini
Add the cleaned and trimmed broccolini to the skillet. Stir to coat the broccolini with the garlic and oil mixture.
6
Season
Sprinkle salt and black pepper over the broccolini. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the broccolini is bright green and tender-crisp.
7
Add Lemon Juice
Remove the skillet from heat and squeeze the juice of the halved lemon over the sautéed broccolini, tossing to combine.

8
Plate the Dish
Transfer the sautéed broccolini to a serving plate. Garnish with lemon halves for a touch of freshness and visual appeal.
9
Serve
Serve immediately as a side dish or as part of a larger meal.
