Ingredients
  

  • 1 head broccoli cut into florets
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 2 cloves garlic sliced
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • salt and pepper
  • ½ tsp red pepper flakes optional

Instructions
 

  • Melt the butter in a nonstick pan on MEDIUM heat.
  • Add the garlic, broccoli, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Sauté for 5–8 minutes until tender but not too soft.
  • Squeeze the lemon juice over and taste for seasoning.

Notes

  • Always opt for fresh broccoli over frozen. If you want a firm bite and delightful crunch even after cooking, fresh is the way to go.
  • Chop broccoli into evenly sized florets for uniform cooking. Florets that are too large will be undercooked while the smaller pieces will be mushy.
  • To ensure you don't burn your garlic, add it just a few seconds before the broccoli.
