Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Wash the Broccoli

    Rinse the broccoli under cold running water to remove any dirt or debris. Shake off excess water.

  2. 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. 3

    Prepare the Garlic

    Peel the garlic cloves and mince them finely using a knife or a garlic press.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Heat the Olive Oil

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat until hot but not smoking.

  2. 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.

  3. 6

    Add the Broccoli

    Add the prepared broccoli florets to the skillet, stirring to coat them in the garlic and olive oil.

  4. 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.

  5. 8

    Finish with Lemon Juice

    Remove the skillet from heat and drizzle the lemon juice over the broccoli, tossing to combine before serving.
