Ingredients

• 2 broccoli crowns
• 2 cups water
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 dash cracked black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Wash the broccoli crowns thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt or debris.

Step 2

Cut the broccoli crowns into equal-sized florets. You can also include tender stems if you like.

Step 3

In a pot large enough to hold a steamer basket, bring 2 cups of water to a boil over medium-high heat.

Step 4

Once the water is boiling, place a steamer basket in the pot, ensuring it sits above the water level.

Step 5

Add the broccoli florets into the steamer basket in a single layer.

Step 6

Cover the pot with a lid and steam the broccoli for about 5 minutes, or until they are tender with a slight crunch.

Step 7

Remove the pot from the heat and carefully transfer the steamed broccoli into a serving dish.

Step 8

Drizzle the olive oil and lemon juice over the broccoli and sprinkle with salt and cracked black pepper to taste.

Step 9

Toss gently to coat the broccoli evenly with the seasoning.

Step 10

Serve hot as a nutritious side dish.
