Here’s the easiest way to cook cauliflower! This lemon herb steamed cauliflower cooks in minutes and is so tasty, it’s life changing.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 small head cauliflower (1 1/2 to 2 pounds)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest (zest from 1/2 lemon)
Instructions
- Chop the cauliflower into florets.
- Place 1 1/2 cups water into a saucepan or pot. If using a steamer basket without a handle, add it to the pot now: the water surface should be right under the basket. Bring the water to a boil.
- Once boiling, add the cauliflower (in the steamer basket, if it has a handle). Steam with the lid on 10 to 12 minutes until just tender, testing with a fork to assess whether it’s done.
- Carefully remove the cauliflower to a bowl, draining any excess liquid. Toss with the remaining ingredients and serve. (Store leftovers refrigerated.)
