Prepare the Broccoli

1. Wash and Cut: Rinse the broccoli florets under cold water and cut them into bite-sized pieces.
2. Steam the Broccoli: In a large pot, bring about an inch of water to a boil. Place the broccoli in a steamer basket and steam for about 5 minutes, or until tender but still crisp.

Sauté the Garlic

1. Heat the Olive Oil: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
2. Add Garlic: Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

Combine and Season

1. Add Broccoli: Once the broccoli is steamed, add it to the skillet with the garlic.
2. Add Lemon: Squeeze the lemon juice over the broccoli and sprinkle the zest on top.
3. Season: Add salt and pepper to taste. If you like a little heat, sprinkle in some red pepper flakes.
