Broccoli with garlic and lemon

Dietitian's tip:

This is a great way to add more flavorful vegetables to your diet. Other cruciferous vegetables, such as cauliflower or Brussels sprouts, can be substituted for broccoli.

Ingredients

1. 4 cups broccoli florets
2. 1 teaspoon olive oil
3. 1 tablespoon minced garlic
4. 1 teaspoon lemon zest
5. 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
6. 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

Directions

In a small saucepan, bring 1 cup of water to a boil. Add the broccoli to the boiling water and cook for 2 to 3 minutes or until tender. Drain broccoli.

In a small saute pan over medium-high, heat the oil. Add the garlic and saute for 30 seconds. Add broccoli, lemon zest, salt and pepper. Combine well and serve.
