Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Broccoli

    Wash the broccoli florets thoroughly under cold water. Cut them into smaller, bite-sized pieces if necessary.

  2. 2

    Boil Water

    In a large pot, bring 1 cup of water to a boil over medium-high heat.

  3. 3

    Steam the Broccoli

    Once the water is boiling, place a steamer basket over the pot and add the broccoli florets. Cover the pot with a lid and steam for about 5-7 minutes until the broccoli is bright green and tender-crisp.

  4. 4

    Season the Broccoli

    Remove the broccoli from the steamer and place it in a serving bowl. Drizzle with olive oil, lemon juice, and sprinkle with salt and black pepper to taste. Toss gently to combine.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve immediately as a side dish or as part of a main meal.
