Plain steamed broccoli is fine. But let’s be honest—fine is boring. You want delicious. Here are three ways to level it up.
Lemon and garlic. Squeeze half a lemon over the broccoli after microwaving. Sprinkle with garlic powder. It’s bright, zesty, and feels fancy.
Parmesan and pepper. Toss the hot broccoli with a tablespoon of grated Parmesan and some black pepper. The cheese melts slightly. It’s a game changer.
Butter and soy sauce. Melt a pat of butter in the microwaved bowl. Add a splash of soy sauce. Toss the broccoli in it. Boom—you just made an Asian-inspired side dish.

What about frozen broccoli?
Frozen broccoli is a hero. It’s already washed and cut. You are paying for convenience. Use it.
The trick with frozen is to increase the time by one minute. And don’t bother thawing it first. Just toss it in the bowl with the water and microwave.
Frozen broccoli can get a little more watery. So after cooking, pour out any extra liquid before adding your seasonings. Trust me.
