Steamed vegetables are delicious and easy to make. Plus they retain more nutrients than fried or sautéed foods.

1 bunch broccoli and broccolini

1 T grapeseed, olive, or oil of your choice

1 T nutritional yeast (gives a cheese-like flavor)

1/2 t garlic powder

1/4 t white pepper

Sprinkle of sea salt

Optional: red pepper flakes

Wash broccoli, place tops and about an inch to two inches of stalk in steamer pot.  Bring water to a boil and steam until broccoli is bright green and  can easily be pierced with a fork.  Careful not to let it become mushy.

Toss with all other ingredients. I find that shaking the broccoli with the seasonings in a covered bowl gets a nice even distribution.
