Method
Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Broccoli
Rinse the fresh broccoli under cold water to remove any dirt or debris. Cut the broccoli into bite-sized florets, ensuring they are uniform in size for even steaming.
- 2
Prepare the Steamer
Fill a pot with 1 cup of water and bring it to a boil. If you have a steamer basket, place it in the pot above the boiling water. If you don’t have a steamer basket, you can place the broccoli directly in the pot, but it will be submerged in the water.
Cooking

Steam the Broccoli
Once the water is boiling, carefully place the broccoli florets into the steamer basket (or directly into the pot). Cover the pot with a lid and steam the broccoli for about 5-7 minutes, or until it is bright green and tender but still crisp.

Season the Broccoli
After steaming, carefully remove the broccoli from the pot and place it in a serving dish. Drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste. Toss gently to combine.
