1
Prepare the Broccoli
Wash the broccoli under cold running water to remove any dirt. Cut the florets from the stem, and chop the stem into bite-sized pieces.
2
Mince the Garlic
Peel the garlic cloves and mince them finely using a knife or a garlic press.

3
Heat the Olive 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 skillet and sauté for about 30 seconds, or until fragrant.
5
Cook the Broccoli
Add the broccoli florets and chopped stems to the skillet. Stir to coat them in the garlic and oil mixture.
6
Season and Cover
Sprinkle the salt and black pepper over the broccoli, then cover the skillet with a lid. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the broccoli is tender but still crisp.
7
Add Lemon Juice
Remove the lid and drizzle the lemon juice over the broccoli. Stir well to combine and cook for an additional minute.
8
Serve
Transfer the sautéed broccoli to a serving dish and enjoy while warm.
