Ingredients

• 2 cups Broccoli florets
• 2 cups Cauliflower florets
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes (optional)
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Wash and thoroughly dry the broccoli and cauliflower. Cut them into bite-sized florets for even cooking.

Step 2

In a large skillet or sauté pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic to the pan and sauté for about 30 seconds, stirring constantly to prevent burning.

Step 4

Add the broccoli and cauliflower florets to the pan and stir to coat them evenly in the garlic and oil.

Step 5

Season with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Stir well to combine.

Step 6

Cover the pan with a lid and lower the heat to medium-low. Allow the vegetables to steam for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender but still crisp.

Step 7

Remove the lid and increase the heat to medium-high to evaporate any excess moisture. Sauté for another 2-3 minutes to add a slight golden color to the edges.

Step 8

Drizzle the lemon juice over the sautéed vegetables and toss to combine.

Step 9

Transfer to a serving dish and garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired. Serve warm as a side dish to complement your meal.
