Servings4
broccoli
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1/2 cup olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder

parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated mozzarella

Nutritional yeast adds a cheesy flavor with fewer calories.

1

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

2

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

3

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

4

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

5

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.

6

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

7

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

8

Blend the sauce for about one minute until well combined.

9

Pour the lemon sauce over the steamed broccoli and serve.
