Ingredients

Instructions

  • Chop the broccoli into florets, then place it into your Instant Pot/pressure cooker. Pour the water over top.
  • Close the lid and make sure the knob on top is in the "seal" position. Pressure cook the broccoli for 1 minute for a soft but still slightly crunchy texture, or 2 minutes for soft broccoli (similar to steamed broccoli).
  • As soon as it's done, immediately switch the knob to "vent". The broccoli should be perfectly tender!
  • Add salt and pepper to taste, then top with 1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional) and a sprinkle of parmesan cheese (optional). Enjoy!
