👩‍🍳 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 about 1 inch of water. Place a steamer basket in the pot, making sure 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: Ensure there is enough water to create steam but not touch the broccoli.
2

Add the broccoli florets to the steamer basket, cover, and steam for 4-5 minutes until the broccoli is tender but still vibrant green. Avoid overcooking to retain the crisp texture.

⏱️ 5 min (ish) 🌡️ Medium-high heat

AI Wisdom: Broccoli should be fork-tender but not mushy.
3

While the broccoli is steaming, heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned.

⏱️ 2 min (ish) 🌡️ Medium heat

AI Wisdom: Be careful not to burn the garlic.
4

Once the broccoli is done, transfer it to a serving dish. Drizzle the garlic-infused olive oil over the broccoli. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Toss gently to coat the broccoli evenly.

AI Wisdom: Coating the broccoli with the flavored oil enhances the taste.
5

Serve the mild steamed broccoli immediately as a nutritious and vibrant side dish.

AI Wisdom: Enjoy the broccoli while it's hot and flavorful.
