Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 head fresh broccoli
- 1 cup water
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
Rinse the broccoli head thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt or impurities.
Trim the broccoli by cutting off the large stem at the base. Cut the broccoli head into bite-sized florets.
Fill a pot with 1 cup of water and bring it to a boil over medium-high heat.
Place a steamer basket over the boiling water, ensuring the water does not touch the basket.
Add the broccoli florets to the steamer basket in an even layer.
Cover the pot with a tight-fitting lid and steam the broccoli for about 5 to 7 minutes or until they are tender yet still bright green.
While the broccoli is steaming, mix the lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder in a small bowl.
Once done, remove the broccoli from the steamer and place it in a serving dish.
Drizzle the lemon juice mixture over the steamed broccoli and gently toss to coat evenly.
Serve immediately as a nutritious side dish.
