1
Prepare the Broccoli
Wash the broccoli thoroughly under running water. Cut the broccoli into florets, ensuring they are bite-sized. Set aside.
2
Mince the Garlic
Peel the garlic cloves and mince them finely using a knife or a garlic press.

3
Sauté the Garlic
In a large skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
4
Cook the Broccoli
Add the broccoli florets to the skillet and stir to coat them in the garlic butter. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, or until the broccoli is bright green and tender but still crisp.
5
Season the Broccoli
Sprinkle the salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes over the broccoli. Pour in the lemon juice and toss everything together to combine well.

6
Plate and Serve
Transfer the garlic butter broccoli to a serving dish and serve immediately as a side dish.
