If you need a good steamed broccoli recipe look no further because this is the best broccoli seasoning ever!
One of the reasons I don’t love veggies is because I typically don’t like frozen/canned varieties and fresh ones take too long to deal with (yes, I am that lazy.) This discovery has opened up a whole new world of scrumptious vegetable options to me… and this seasoning… to DIE for. The husband made it up, and I made him make it three nights in a row. Then, I made him teach me. Then one time I measured so that I could share it on the blog with all of you!
How to season broccoli:
You ready for this easy step by step steamed broccoli recipe? Here we go!
If you think you don't like broccoli, wait until you give this delicious seasoning a try! Best part is, it's still healthy!
- 3 cups fresh broccoli
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic salt
- Pepper to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon thyme
-
Put your broccoli and your water in a microwave safe bowl and cover loosely with saran wrap. Microwave for approximately 7 minutes.
-
When your broccoli is cooked according to your preferences (I usually check a couple times just to make sure it doesn't cook too much or too little) remove it from microwave and drain excess water, if any.
-
Add all your seasonings and toss to coat.
-
Serve with your favorite meal and enjoy!

My daughter didn’t want the usual seasoning I put on steamed broccoli so I gave this one a try tonight. It was nice and I will put this in the rotation to make again.
Yay! I’m so glad you liked it! Thanks so much for coming back to comment!
I just tried it – PERFECT! Thanks for this great idea!
Yay!! So glad you liked it!
I love this easy method–and if you’re really feeling lazy, when you’re steaming just replace the water with a favorite salad dressing. Comes out of the microwave ready to eat!
I’m so going to try that!!
Thanks so much for sharing this at The DIY Dreamer… From Dream To Reality last week. I’m looking forward to seeing what you share tomorrow evening!
I love broccoli! This sounds like a perfect way to top it.
I’d be thrilled if you’d link up at this week’s Off the Hook!
I like this. I love using the microwave for cooking it. I often add lemon pepper for a refreshing taste. I saw this on Shabby Creek Cottage Transformation Thursday. (And thanks for the Redbox codes, didnt know about that)
I love Broccoli and I have always made it in the microwave, but my microwave is broken (has been for about 6 months) and I miss my Broccoli! Too lazy to do it another way… but maybe I will just so I can try this seasoning.
Haha you totally should! It is delish!!
If you are missing your broccoli you can do the same effect on the stove, it a pan poor alittle water in it add the broccoli, cover and watch it steam! Both ways are pretty easy and taste the same!
