Method

Preparation

1

Wash and Cut the Broccoli

Begin by washing the broccoli head under cold running water to remove any dirt or pesticides. Pat it dry with a clean towel. Cut the broccoli into bite-sized florets, removing the tough stem.

2

Prepare the Seasoning Mixture

In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Mix well to create a seasoning blend.

Cooking

3

Sauté the Broccoli

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the broccoli florets and sauté for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are bright green and tender-crisp.

4

Add Seasoning

Pour the prepared seasoning mixture over the sautéed broccoli, stirring well to coat the florets evenly. Continue to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

5

Serve

Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the sautéed broccoli to a serving dish. Optionally, sprinkle with additional lemon juice before serving.
