Basic Steamed Vegetables

Ingredients

• 2 cup Broccoli florets
• 1 medium Carrot (Sliced into thin rounds)
• 1 cup Snap peas (Trimmed)
• 2 cup Water (For the steamer; do not allow the water to touch the vegetables)
• 1 tbsp Olive oil (For finishing)
• Kosher salt (To taste)
• Black pepper (To taste)

Steps

1. 1

   Prepare the vegetables: cut the broccoli into evenly sized florets, slice the carrot thinly so it cooks at the same rate, and trim the snap peas.

2. 2

   Fill a saucepan with about 2 cups of water and place a steamer basket inside. The water should sit below the basket. Bring the water to a steady simmer over medium-high heat.

3. 3

   Add the carrots to the steamer basket, cover, and steam for about 2 minutes.

4. 4

   Add the broccoli and snap peas, cover again, and continue steaming for 4 to 5 minutes, until the vegetables are bright in color and tender-crisp.

5. 5

   Transfer the steamed vegetables to a serving bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and black pepper to taste.

6. 6

   Serve immediately while hot.
