1
Prepare the Broccoli
Rinse the broccoli head under cold water to remove any dirt or pesticides. Cut the broccoli into bite-sized florets and set aside.
2
Mince the Garlic
Peel and mince the garlic cloves finely. This will enhance the flavor of the dish.

3
Heat the Oil
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat until it shimmers.
4
Sauté the Garlic
Add the minced garlic to the heated oil and sauté for about 30 seconds, or until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
5
Cook the Broccoli
Add the broccoli florets to the skillet. Stir well to coat them with the garlic and oil. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, or until the broccoli is tender yet crisp.
6
Season the Broccoli
Sprinkle the salt and black pepper over the broccoli while cooking. Stir to ensure even seasoning.
7
Add Lemon Juice
Once the broccoli is cooked, remove the skillet from heat and drizzle the lemon juice over the top. Stir to combine.

8
Plate the Dish
Transfer the broccoli to a serving dish. If desired, sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and red pepper flakes for added flavor.
9
Serve
Serve immediately while warm as a side dish or light main course.
