Preparation

Prepare the Broccoli
Begin by rinsing the head of broccoli under cool running water to remove any dirt or debris. Cut the broccoli into florets, ensuring that the pieces are roughly the same size for even cooking.
- 2
Mince the Garlic
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves. This will help to release their flavor while cooking.
Cooking
- 3
Sauté the Broccoli
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

Cook Until Tender
Continue to cook the broccoli for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the florets are tender but still vibrant green. If desired, add a splash of water to the skillet to help steam the broccoli.

Finish with Lemon Juice
Once the broccoli is cooked to your liking, remove the skillet from heat. Drizzle the lemon juice over the broccoli, and toss to combine. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
