Detox-Friendly Steamed Broccoli & Garlic Plate

Steaming keeps the broccoli bright green and tender-crisp, while a quick sauté of garlic in olive oil turns a simple vegetable into something worth savoring on its own.

Broccoli is a staple of light, vegetable-forward eating, which is why this plate is tagged for detox and cleanse routines — it's the kind of simple, minimally seasoned side many people lean on when they're keeping meals plant-heavy. The lemon juice at the end adds just enough acidity to keep it from tasting plain.

Serve immediately while the broccoli is still warm and the garlic oil is glossy.

Watch the garlic closely once it hits the hot oil, since it can go from golden to burnt in a matter of seconds. This plate works well as a side to grilled chicken or fish if you want to round out the meal.
