1
Prepare the Broccoli
Start by washing the broccoli head thoroughly under cold running water to remove any dirt or pesticides. Cut the broccoli into bite-sized florets, ensuring that the stems are trimmed to about 1 inch in length.
2
Mince the Garlic
Peel the garlic cloves and mince them finely using a knife or a garlic press. Set aside.

3
Sauté the Broccoli
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. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
4
Add the Broccoli
Add the broccoli florets to the skillet. Season with salt and black pepper. Stir well to coat the broccoli with the oil and garlic mixture. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the broccoli is tender but still vibrant green.
5
Finish with Lemon Juice
Once the broccoli is cooked, remove the skillet from heat. Drizzle with lemon juice and toss to combine. Adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if desired.
