Instant Pot Steamed Broccoli

Ingredients

• 2 pounds broccoli ((2 large heads, about 8 cups florets))
• 1/2 cup water
• 1 garlic clove (smashed, optional)
• 1 dried bay leaf (optional)
• Kosher salt, black pepper and extra-virgin olive oil

Instructions

1. 1

   Set Instant Pot wire rack in bottom of Instant Pot (if you have it). If you don't have the wire rack that came with the pot, skip this step.

2. 2

   Cut broccoli into medium-sized florets (about 1½ to 2 inches large). Add florets to Instant Pot with ½ cup water, garlic, and bay leaf. Lock lid in place and close pressure release. Select high pressure cook function and cook for 0 minutes (press Pressure Cook button, set to “High Pressure,” and set cook time to 0 minutes).

3. 3

   Once Instant Pot is pressurized and beeps, turn off Instant Pot and quick-release pressure. Carefully remove lid, allowing for steam to escape away from you. Discard garlic and bay leaf.
