Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams fresh broccoli
- 1 whole lemon
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
Begin by washing the broccoli under cool running water to remove any dirt or impurities. Pat dry with a clean towel.
Cut the broccoli into florets, keeping tender parts of the stem attached. Discard any thick, tough parts.
Bring a large pot with a steamer insert filled with about 1-2 inches of water to a boil over medium-high heat.
While waiting for the water to boil, zest the lemon and set aside the zest. Then, halve the lemon and set it aside as well.
Once the water is boiling, place the broccoli florets into the steamer basket. Cover the pot with a lid.
Steam the broccoli for 5-8 minutes, or until the broccoli is tender-crisp and vibrant green. Check doneness with a fork; it should pierce easily but not become mushy.
Remove the broccoli from the steamer and transfer it to a large serving bowl.
Drizzle the olive oil evenly over the steamed broccoli. Squeeze the juice from half a lemon over the top.
Sprinkle the sea salt, black pepper, and the reserved lemon zest over the broccoli. Toss gently to combine.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve immediately as a side dish or enjoy as a light, healthy snack.
