Ingredients

  • 1 largehead broccoli ((about 1 lb.))
  • 2 tbsp.extra-virgin olive oil
  • ½ tsp.kosher salt
  • ¼ tsp.freshly ground black pepper
  • ½ tsp.garlic powder
  • 1 tsp.fresh lemon juice

Directions

  1. 1

    Cut head of broccoli into bite-sized florets (you should end up with around 6 cups). If using, slice stalk into 1/2-inch pieces, or save for another use. (Note: the stalk won't become as tender as the florets, however it's a great source of prebiotic fiber!)

  2. 2

    Heat oil in a large skillet with a fitted lid over medium-high. Once oil is shimmering, add broccoli and cook, uncovered, 1 minute.

  3. 3

    Cover and continue cooking, lifting lid to stir every 1 to 2 minutes to prevent burning, until crisp-tender and lightly charred, about 7 to 8 minutes total. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Remove from heat and spritz with fresh lemon juice.
