Lemon-pepper broccoli with olive oil is a simple, healthy, and delicious side dish that pairs well with a variety of main courses. This steamed broccoli recipe brings a fresh, zesty flavor with a touch of black pepper heat, making it a perfect addition to your meal rotation.
- For best results, use fresh broccoli to retain the bright green color and crunchy texture.
- Ensure that the broccoli is evenly coated with olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper for a balanced flavor in every bite.
- Steam the broccoli just until tender-crisp, about 5-7 minutes, to avoid overcooking and losing its nutritional value.
- You can add a sprinkle of freshly grated Parmesan cheese or red pepper flakes for an extra flavor boost.
- If you prefer a slightly more intense lemon flavor, add a bit of lemon zest along with the lemon juice.
Cooking lemon-pepper broccoli with olive oil is straightforward and results in a flavorful, nutritious side that complements any dish. With just a few ingredients and minimal preparation time, you can enjoy a delightful vegetable accompaniment that's both healthy and tasty.
