4 servings
- 1 large head broccoli (about 1.5 lb), cut into florets
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp fresh ginger, finely grated
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1 tbsp fresh basil, thinly sliced (optional)
Instructions
- 1
Pour about 1 inch of water into a large saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Set a steamer basket inside — the water should sit just below the basket.

Add the broccoli florets to the steamer basket in a single layer, cover tightly, and steam until the florets are bright green and a fork slides into the thickest stem with just slight resistance, 5–7 minutes.
