Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Broccoli

    Wash the broccoli florets thoroughly under running water. Cut them into bite-sized pieces if they are not already pre-cut.

  2. 2

    Mince the Garlic

    Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves, ensuring that you have a fine consistency for even flavor distribution.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Sauté the Broccoli

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, but not browned.

  2. 4

    Add the Broccoli

    Add the broccoli florets to the skillet. Stir well to coat the broccoli in the garlic and oil mixture.

  3. 5

    Season and Cook

    Sprinkle the salt and black pepper over the broccoli. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the broccoli is bright green and tender but still slightly crisp.

  4. 6

    Add Lemon Juice and Cheese

    Remove the skillet from heat. Drizzle lemon juice over the broccoli and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Toss to combine all ingredients.
