How to Make: Broccoli with Lemon Sauce

parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated mozzarella

Nutritional yeast adds a cheesy flavor with fewer calories.

Start by preparing the broccoli, making sure to steam it instead of boiling it.

Allow the broccoli to steam for about 6-7 minutes for a crisp texture; adjust time for softer broccoli.

Once the water is boiling, place the broccoli in a strainer above the pot to steam.

Cover the strainer to trap the steam and flip the broccoli once during steaming to ensure even cooking.

After 6-7 minutes, check the broccoli and remove it from the heat before it becomes too soft, as it will continue to cook off the heat.

In a mixing bowl, combine 1/4 cup of fresh lemon juice and 1/2 cup of olive oil.

Add 1 teaspoon of garlic powder and 1 teaspoon of salt to the lemon juice and olive oil mixture.

Blend the sauce for about one minute until well combined.

Pour the lemon sauce over the steamed broccoli and serve.
