Categories     Side Dish

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 lb. fresh broccoli
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon Diamond Crystal kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Steps:

  • Add 1 inch of water to a saucepan and bring to a boil.
  • Rinse the broccoli. Use a vegetable peeler to peel the stalks.
  • Cut the broccoli into bite-size florets and pieces, and place them in a steamer basket.
  • Steam until tender-crisp. Start checking after 5 minutes. As soon as a fork can pierce the stalks, the broccoli is done. Even if the rest of the meal is not ready yet, remove the broccoli from the steamer onto a plate. Crisp steamed broccoli is delicious even at room temperature. Warm limp broccoli is not.
  • While the broccoli is steaming, in a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
  • Place the broccoli in a bowl. Pour the dressing on top and gently mix. Serve immediately.
