Microwave Broccoli

🧂 Ingredients

• 1 head broccoli

  or 3 cups broccoli florets, fresh or frozen; or 1 cup fresh riced broccoli
• 1/4 cup water

Instructions

• 1 If using fresh broccoli: Either dice the broccoli into bite sized florets or use
  a food processor to make riced broccoli, setting aside or discarding the large
  stems.
• 2 If using frozen broccoli: If you’re using frozen broccoli, do not defrost the
  broccoli first. If any pieces are stuck together, gently break apart the pieces.
• 3 Next, transfer the broccoli a wide, microwave safe bowl. Add about 1/4 cup water
  to the bowl, so that the bottom of the bowl is covered with water, and cover
  tightly with a piece of plastic wrap. Alternatively, add the broccoli and water
  to a food grade silicone bag.
• 4 Set the bowl in the microwave and turn on high. See "Notes" section below for
  cook times, and keep in mind that microwaves may vary.
• 5 Once the broccoli is steamed, make sure to wait about 2-3 minutes before
  handling it. Carefully peel back the plastic wrap or open the silicone bag.
• 6 Drain the water and enjoy the steamed broccoli exactly as it is. If you’d like,
  add a pat of butter or ghee and a sprinkle of salt and pepper.
