  1. Place the chopped broccoli in a microwave safe bowl with a lid. If you don't have a container, you can use a microwave safe bowl and cover it with a plate. That's what I did and it worked great!
  2. Cook in the microwave for 3-4 minutes until the broccoli is the tenderness that you desire.
  3. Remove the broccoli from the microwave, season with the salt and pepper and enjoy!
