1
Prepare the Broccolini
Rinse the broccolini under cold water to remove any dirt or grit. Trim the ends of the stems if they are tough or woody.
2
Mince the Garlic
Peel and mince the garlic cloves 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 but does not smoke.
4
Sauté the Garlic
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 30 seconds or until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
5
Add Broccolini
Add the prepared broccolini to the skillet and toss to coat with the garlic and olive oil.
6
Season and Cook
Sprinkle the red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper over the broccolini. Stir well and cook for about 4-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the broccolini is tender but still vibrant green.
7
Finish with Lemon Juice
Remove the skillet from heat and drizzle the lemon juice over the sautéed broccolini. Toss to combine.
8
Serve
Transfer the sautéed broccolini to a serving dish and enjoy as a side or main vegetable dish.
