👩‍🍳 Instructions (The AI's Game Plan)

🎯 Follow along with our AI chef's step-by-step adventure. Results may vary wildly!

1

Fill a large pot with 1-2 inches of water. Place a steamer basket inside, ensuring the water doesn't touch the bottom of the basket. Cover the pot and bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat.

⏱️ 5 min (ish)

AI Wisdom: Visual cue: Steam should be rising from the pot.
2

Add the broccoli florets to the steamer basket. Sprinkle minced garlic on top, if using. Cover and steam for 4-5 minutes until the broccoli is tender but still vibrant green.

⏱️ 5 min (ish)

AI Wisdom: Check doneness by piercing a floret with a fork; it should be tender yet slightly crisp.
3

Drizzle olive oil over the steamed broccoli. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Toss gently to coat the broccoli evenly with the seasonings.

⏱️ 3 min (ish)

AI Wisdom: Pro tip: The heat from the broccoli will help the flavors of garlic and seasonings bloom.
