Prepare the broccoli by washing it thoroughly under cold water. Cut the florets into bite-sized pieces, and finely chop the stalk if desired.
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the minced garlic to the hot oil and stir-fry for about 30 seconds, until fragrant but not browned.
Add the broccoli florets to the skillet and stir well to coat them in the oil and garlic.
Stir in the soy sauce, salt, and black pepper. Continue to stir-fry for 5-7 minutes, or until the broccoli is tender-crisp and bright green.
Remove the skillet from the heat and drizzle the lemon juice over the broccoli, stirring to combine evenly.
Transfer the stir-fried broccoli to a serving bowl and sprinkle with sesame seeds before serving.
Serve hot as a keto-friendly side dish or enjoy as a light main course.
