Savory Steamed Broccoli

Hi Everyone!

Today I am talking about a healthy snack that is quick and easy to make, steamed broccoli! I know a lot of us are working from home these days and I don’t know about you but I have been browsing my pantry and fridge for snacks all day long. It’s weird how when you aren’t home you don’t feel hungry as often. The hardest part for me is trying to snack on something healthy! I have a solution to this problem, at least for some of the time. 

Ingredients

1-2 Broccoli Crowns (I like the crowns because they are cheaper, usually about $1 a crown)

4 Cups Water

Spray Butter (to liking)

Salt/Pepper for Taste

Instructions

  1. Start boiling your water in a medium saucepan.  
  2. While you are waiting, cut your broccoli crowns into small pieces to your preference. Add these to your steamer basket. 
  3. Once the water starts boiling and your broccoli is in your steamer basket, place the steamer basket into your saucepan and cover. Change heat to medium. Set a timer for 10 minutes. 
  4. When the timer goes off, remove from heat and enjoy! I like to add I can’t believe it’s not butter spray butter and salt/pepper to taste! 

I always try to keep a few crowns of broccoli in my fridge, along with other fruits and vegetables so that I can eat healthier snacks. I have even found that when I make too much broccoli for a snack you can just put it in the fridge and it heats up really well. Making it even easier to choose to eat something healthy. I have added a link below to a steamer basket that is similar to mine!
