60 seconds to steamed broccoli


Most people don't eat enough vegetables and I constantly hear the excuse that they are difficult to prepare. So here is a way you can have some delicious steamed broccoli with minimal effort.




Line the bottom of your container with water. You can use Tupperware, a ramekin, or anything else that has a microwave safe lid. You won't need much water. About a tablespoon per cup of broccoli.


Add cut broccoli (You can buy it pre-cut.) and set the lid on top. Don't snap the lid tight or your container might explode. Put it into the microwave for about 40 seconds. The water will turn to steam and cook your veggies to perfection.

Adjust the time and water amount depending on how mushy you like it and feel free to add some seasoning if you like. A touch of salt and garlic powder will go a long way.

Add some shredded cheese and microwave for an extra 15 seconds if your diet permits.

Broccoli is a great choice when it comes to vegetables and should be a part of every ones diet. Though this method can be used for other vegetables you will need to experiment with cooking times.

Enjoy!
