Ingredients

1 lb. broccolini, trimmed and washed
4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons olive oil
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
¾ teaspoon kosher salt
½ tsp lemon juice

Directions

Add garlic and olive oil to a cold skillet on a low heat
Allow the pan to heat up and the garlic to warm through and start to sizzle slowly, stirring towards the middle and end, so the garlic cooks evenly; this usually takes 8-10 minutes total
When the garlic is sizzling, add the red pepper flakes and stir to combine
Add the broccolini to the pan and increase the heat to medium-low; allow the broccolini to turn bright green and become tender for about 6-8 minutes, tossing frequently and moving any garlic over the broccoli so that it doesn't continue to cook in the oil (see note)
Season with salt and lemon juice, toss to combine and serve immediately

Notes

You can add a tablespoon of water and cover the skillet if you prefer the broccolini less crunchy.
You might also sprinkle a little parmesan cheese on top when you serve.
