Ingredients
- 500 grams broccoli florets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 0.5 teaspoons red chili flakes
- 0.25 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Wash broccoli florets thoroughly under running water and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Step 2
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil.
Step 3
Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Step 4
Add the broccoli florets to the skillet and toss to coat them in the garlic-infused oil.
Step 5
Sprinkle in the red chili flakes, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine.
Step 6
Reduce the heat to medium, cover the skillet with a lid, and let the broccoli cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender-crisp.
Step 7
Remove the lid and drizzle the lemon juice over the broccoli. Stir to evenly distribute the tangy flavor.
Step 8
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. If desired, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the broccoli and let it melt slightly for additional flavor.
Step 9
Remove from heat and serve immediately as a flavorful low-carb side dish or light main course.
