Our favorite fast food restaurant serves steamed broccoli as a choice instead of fries. However, there is nothing on them. If you eat in, you can order a side of melted cheese for the broccoli. During the pandemic, we would pick up our food in the drive thru and take it home. I started to doctor up my broccoli as follows. It's fewer calories than adding cheese and it's super easy to make at home.

How To Make speedy steamed broccoli

Step 1

Break tops apart into florets. Use how ever much of the stem that you like, cut into slices.

Step 2

Steam until bright green and al dente.
Step 3

In serving bowl, sprinkle with sesame oil and garlic salt and gently mix. Or let each person dress their own portion with both oil and salt.
Step 4

For those with a fondness for a bit of heat, add a sprinkle of Slap Yo Mama seasoning or red pepper flakes.
