Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Wash and cut the broccoli, carrots, cauliflower, and green beans into even-sized pieces for uniform cooking.

  2. 2

    Set Up the Steamer

    Fill a pot with about 1 inch of water and bring it to a boil. Place a steamer basket over the pot, making sure the water does not touch the bottom of the steamer.

  3. 3

    Steam the Vegetables

    Add the prepared vegetables to the steamer basket, cover, and steam for about 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender but crisp.

  4. 4

    Season and Serve

    Remove the vegetables from the steamer, drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Toss gently to coat and serve warm.
