Lemon Pepper Steamed Broccoli
Bright steamed broccoli gets a simple finish of olive oil, lemon zest, salt and pepper for a fast, fresh side.
Ingredients
- Olive oil
- Salt
- Water
- Pepper
- Lemon
Directions
- Pour 1 inch of water into a medium-sized saucepan, set it over high heat, and let it come to a boil.
- Add the broccoli to a steamer basket, lower the basket into the saucepan, making sure its base stays above the water, then cover the pan and turn the heat down to medium.
- Let the broccoli steam for 4 to 5 minutes, until a fork slips in with just a little resistance.
- Move the broccoli to a serving bowl. Drizzle in the olive oil, zest the lemon directly on top, season with salt and pepper, and toss until everything is lightly coated. Serve.
