Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil

2 bunches baby broccoli (6 to 8 ounces each), tough ends trimmed

2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced

1/4 teaspoon crushed red-pepper flakes (optional)

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, plus wedges for serving

Coarse salt and ground pepper

Preparation

In a large skillet, heat oil over medium. Add broccoli, garlic, and, if using, red-pepper flakes. Cook until broccoli is bright green, about 2 minutes.

Add 1/4 cup water to skillet; cover, and cook until broccoli is crisp-tender, 6 to 8 minutes. Add lemon juice, and season with salt and pepper. Toss to combine. Serve immediately, garnished with lemon wedges.
