1
Prep the Broccoli
Wash the broccoli florets under cold running water to remove any dirt or debris. Cut the florets into smaller pieces if they are too large, ensuring they are roughly the same size for even cooking.

2
Heat the Oil
In a large skillet or frying pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat until it shimmers. This should take about 1-2 minutes.
3
Sauté the Garlic
Add the minced garlic to the hot oil and sauté for about 30 seconds or until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
4
Add the Broccoli
Add the prepared broccoli florets to the skillet. Stir well to coat the broccoli in the garlic oil.
5
Season and Cook
Sprinkle the salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes over the broccoli. Stir to combine. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the broccoli is tender yet still bright green.
6
Finish with Lemon Juice
Once the broccoli is cooked to your liking, remove the skillet from heat. Drizzle the lemon juice over the sautéed broccoli and toss to combine before serving.
