Ingredients

  • 8 ounces fresh broccoli florets
  • ½ cup water
  • ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt
  • teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon unsalted butter (dairy free and vegan: use extra virgin olive oil)

Instructions

Instant Pot

  • Place broccoli in Instant Pot steamer basket.
  • Add water to Instant Pot.
  • Set Instant Pot on High Pressure for one minute.  Or set the timer for zero minutes if you like your broccoli crisp-tender.
  • When Instant Pot beeps, wait one minute, cover valve with kitchen towel, and release pressure.  Remove lid.
  • Remove steamer basket.  Sprinkle broccoli with salt & pepper and toss with butter.
  • Enjoy!

Oven

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Place broccoli in a casserole dish and add water.  Cover with foil, sealing as best that you can.
  • Bake for 10 minutes or until broccoli is done to your liking.  If it's not tender enough, bake at 5 minute intervals until perfect for you.
  • Drain and add seasonings and butter, if desired.
  • Enjoy!
