Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the broccoli

    Wash the broccoli florets under cold water and cut them into bite-sized pieces.

  2. 2

    Set up the steamer

    In a large pot, add 1 cup of water and bring it to a boil. Place a steamer basket over the pot, ensuring it doesn’t touch the water.

  3. 3

    Steam the broccoli

    Add the broccoli florets to the steamer basket, cover, and steam for about 5-7 minutes until tender but still vibrant green.

  4. 4

    Season and serve

    Remove the broccoli from the steamer, drizzle with olive oil and lemon juice, and sprinkle with salt and black pepper to taste. Toss to combine and serve immediately.
