A delightful twist on steamed broccoli, enhanced with garlic, lemon, and Parmesan for a flavorful side dish.
Prepare the broccoli by washing it thoroughly, trimming the tough ends, and cutting it into florets.
Cut the florets into uniform sizes for even cooking.
Steam the broccoli in a steamer until it is tender-crisp and bright green, about 8-10 minutes.
Avoid overcooking to maintain the vibrant color and texture.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, then add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant.
Be careful not to burn the garlic as it can turn bitter.
Transfer the steamed broccoli to a serving dish and drizzle the garlic oil over it.
Toss gently to ensure the broccoli is evenly coated.
Sprinkle the broccoli with Parmesan cheese, lemon juice, salt, and pepper to taste.
Serve immediately to enjoy the dish at its best.
