Recipe: Broccoli with Garlic and Lemon

This mix of broccoli, lemon zest and minced garlic is the perfect trio. Looking to add a little crunch? Consider toasted almonds. Be careful, though, they have the potential to brown (and burn) quickly!

• 1 teaspoon olive oil
• 1 tablespoon minced garlic
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest
