Ingredients
- 500 grams fresh broccoli
- 1 whole lemon
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Begin by washing the broccoli under cool running water to remove any dirt or impurities. Pat dry with a clean towel.
Step 2
Cut the broccoli into florets, keeping tender parts of the stem attached. Discard any thick, tough parts.
Step 3
Bring a large pot with a steamer insert filled with about 1-2 inches of water to a boil over medium-high heat.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
Once the water is boiling, place the broccoli florets into the steamer basket. Cover the pot with a lid.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
Remove the broccoli from the steamer and transfer it to a large serving bowl.
Step 8
Drizzle the olive oil evenly over the steamed broccoli. Squeeze the juice from half a lemon over the top.
Step 9
Sprinkle the sea salt, black pepper, and the reserved lemon zest over the broccoli. Toss gently to combine.
Step 10
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve immediately as a side dish or enjoy as a light, healthy snack.
