Chef's tip
Use a stick or block-style dairy-free butter - not a soft tub spread - and swap one-for-one.
¼ tsp fine sea salt, plus more to taste
1 tbsp fresh flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped (optional)

Instructions

1
Pour about 1 inch of water into a large pot and bring to a boil over high heat. Set a steamer basket inside — the water should sit just below the basket.
2
Add the broccoli florets to the steamer basket, cover with the lid, and steam for 5–7 minutes, until the florets are bright green and a fork slides into the thickest stem with just a little resistance.
