Ingredients
- 500 grams Broccoli florets
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves
- 0.25 teaspoons Red pepper flakes
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Wash and pat dry the broccoli florets to ensure they roast properly.
Step 2
Peel and slice the garlic cloves thinly.
Step 3
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 4
Once the oil is shimmering, add the broccoli florets in a single layer, ensuring they have space to cook evenly.
Step 5
Cook the broccoli for 3-4 minutes without moving it to allow a nice char to develop on one side.
Step 6
Sprinkle the sliced garlic and red pepper flakes over the broccoli, then stir to evenly distribute the garlic and flip the florets. Cook for an additional 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the broccoli is tender but still crisp.
Step 7
Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Stir well to combine.
Step 8
Remove the skillet from heat and drizzle the broccoli with lemon juice for brightness. Toss to coat.
Step 9
Optional: Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the broccoli for added flavor.
Step 10
Serve immediately as a side dish, and enjoy!
