1
Wash the Broccoli
Rinse the broccoli under cold running water to remove any dirt or debris. Shake off excess water.
2
Cut the Broccoli
Using a sharp knife, cut the broccoli into bite-sized florets. Trim the tough stem and cut it into smaller pieces if desired.
3
Prepare the Garlic
Peel the garlic cloves and mince them finely using a knife or a garlic press.

4
Heat the Olive Oil
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat until hot but not smoking.
5
Sauté the Garlic
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
6
Add the Broccoli
Add the prepared broccoli florets to the skillet, stirring to coat them in the garlic and olive oil.
7
Season the Broccoli
Sprinkle the salt and black pepper over the broccoli and continue to sauté for 5-7 minutes until the broccoli is bright green and tender-crisp.
8
Finish with Lemon Juice
Remove the skillet from heat and drizzle the lemon juice over the broccoli, tossing to combine before serving.
