Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 4 cups broccoli florets
- 2 garlic cloves thinly sliced
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- Freshly ground black pepper to taste
- Lemon for serving
- Red pepper flakes optional, for serving
Instructions
- Heat the extra-virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the broccoli florets, thinly sliced garlic, sea salt, and a few twists of black pepper. Sauté the mixture for 3 to 4 minutes, until the broccoli is bright green and the garlic is fragrant.
- Pour in 2 tablespoons of water, then cover the skillet. Let the broccoli steam until it's fork-tender, approximately 2 to 4 minutes.
- Remove the skillet from the heat. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the broccoli and add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a spicy kick, if desired. Adjust the seasoning with more salt and black pepper according to your taste. Serve immediately.
