How to Steam Cauliflower

Steaming cauliflower is a simple and healthy way to cook it while preserving its nutrients and natural flavor. Here's how you can do it:

Ingredients

  • 1 medium head of cauliflower
  • Water (for steaming)
  • Salt (optional, for seasoning)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Cauliflower

  • Remove the outer leaves and stem from the cauliflower.
  • Cut the cauliflower into florets, making sure they are roughly the same size for even cooking.

2. Set Up the Steamer

  • Stovetop Steamer: If you have a steamer basket, fill a pot with about 1-2 inches of water and bring it to a boil. Place the cauliflower florets into the steamer basket, then set the basket into the pot, ensuring the florets don’t touch the water.
  • Makeshift Steamer: If you don’t have a steamer, use a heatproof colander or strainer. Set it over a pot with boiling water, ensuring the colander doesn't touch the water.

3. Steam the Cauliflower

  • Cover the pot with a lid and steam the cauliflower for 6-10 minutes, depending on the size of the florets. The cauliflower should be tender when pierced with a fork but still slightly firm.

4. Season and Serve

  • Remove the cauliflower from the steamer and transfer it to a serving dish.
  • Optional: Season with salt, pepper, or any additional herbs and spices you like.

Tips

  • Check for Doneness: The cauliflower is done when it's fork-tender but not mushy.
  • Flavor Boost: Steam with a couple of garlic cloves or a few sprigs of fresh herbs in the water for added flavor.
  • Microwave Steaming: If you’re short on time, you can microwave cauliflower florets in a microwave-safe bowl with a lid for 3-5 minutes with a splash of water.

Steamed cauliflower is a great base for mashing, roasting, or just enjoying as a simple, healthy side dish! 🌱
