Peanut Free Steamed Broccoli with Butter

Steamed broccoli done right is one of those side dishes that quietly steals the show — vibrant green, just tender enough, and finished with melted butter that coats every floret in something genuinely craveable. The method here is simple steaming over boiling water, which keeps the color bright and the texture perfectly on that line between crisp and soft. A pinch of sea salt and a handful of fresh parsley are all it takes to round out the flavor without overcomplicating things. For anyone navigating nut allergies, this recipe is as clean as it gets — just broccoli, butter, salt, and an optional herb, so there's nothing to second-guess on the label or in the pan. It's the kind of dish that works alongside almost anything, from a weeknight roast chicken to a simple bowl of pasta, and it comes together faster than most people expect. Keep a close eye on that steaming time and pull the broccoli while it still has a little bite — that's the real secret to making this feel like more than just a vegetable side.
