For a brighter flavor, add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice after steaming. Experiment with different seasonings! Garlic powder, red pepper flakes, or a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese can add a delicious twist. To prevent soggy broccoli, make sure the steamer basket isn't overcrowded. Steam in batches if necessary.
