Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Broccoli

    Wash the broccoli head thoroughly under running water. Cut the florets off the stem and set them aside.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Garlic

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

  3. 3

    Cook the Broccoli

    Add the broccoli florets to the skillet. Season with salt and black pepper. Stir well to coat the florets in the oil and garlic.

  4. 4

    Steam the Broccoli

    Cover the skillet and let the broccoli steam for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender but still bright green.

  5. 5

    Finish with Lemon Juice

    Remove the skillet from heat. Drizzle the lemon juice over the broccoli and toss to combine before serving.
