1
Prepare the Broccoli
Wash the broccoli florets under cold water and cut them into smaller pieces if necessary.
2
Steam the Broccoli
Fill a pot with about an inch of water and place a steamer basket inside. Bring the water to a boil. Add the broccoli florets to the steamer basket, cover, and steam for about 5-7 minutes until tender but still bright green.
3
Prepare the Topping
While the broccoli is steaming, heat the olive oil in a small pan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
4
Combine and Season
Once the broccoli is done steaming, remove it from the pot and place it in a serving dish. Drizzle the sautéed garlic and olive oil over the broccoli, then sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
5
Serve
Serve the steamed Parmesan broccoli warm as a side dish.
