Ingredients

2 heads Fresh Broccoli ~ 1 ½ pounds
1 cup Water
Olive oil, lemon juice, salt & pepper for seasoning optional

Instructions

Cut the broccoli into 1-2 inch florets.
Add 1 cup of water and a steamer basket into the Instant Pot.
Place broccoli florets into the Instant Pot.
Lock the lid into place, seal the vent, and set to pressure cook on high for 0 minutes.
Once completed, quick release the pressure. When the float valve drops, carefully remove the lid.

Notes

Don't have a steamer basket? No worries, you can make this recipe without one and it comes out just as delicious!
Yes, you read that right, ZERO MINUTES! The broccoli actually cooks as the Instant Pot is pressurizing. This should take about 5 minutes depending on which size pressure cooker you are using.
If you prefer a softer texture, set the Instant Pot to cook for 1-2 minutes.

Enjoy!
