1
Wash the Broccoli
Begin by rinsing the broccoli under cold water to remove any dirt or debris. Pat it dry with a clean kitchen towel.
2
Chop the Broccoli
Cut the broccoli into bite-sized florets, ensuring that the stems are also cut into smaller pieces for even cooking.
3
Prepare the Garlic
Peel and finely chop the garlic cloves, ensuring they are roughly the same size for even distribution.

4
Heat the Olive Oil
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat until shimmering but not smoking.
5
Sauté the Garlic
Add the chopped garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 1 minute, or until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
6
Add the Broccoli
Add the chopped broccoli florets and stems to the skillet. Toss to coat in the garlic and oil mixture.
7
Season and Cook
Sprinkle the salt and black pepper over the broccoli. Stir well and cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, 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. Toss gently to combine.
