Ingredients

1 pound fresh broccoli (cut into 1½- to 2-inch-long florets)
¼ cup water
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 small garlic cloves (sliced)
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
Lemon wedges for serving

Steps

1
Place the broccoli and water in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Cover with a lid, and cook until the broccoli is bright green but still crisp, about 2 minutes. Uncover, increase the heat to high, and cook until the water is fully evaporated, about 1 more minute.
2
Once all the water has cooked out, reduce to medium-high heat, add the olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper and sauté, stirring frequently, until the broccoli is tender with some browned spots, 2-4 minutes.
3
Remove from heat, squeeze lemon juice on top, and serve immediately.
