How to make steamed vegetables

Steaming vegetables is a great, healthy way to cook vegetables that results in perfectly cooked vegetables. You can of course use a steamer or a bamboo steaming basket set over a pot of water to steam vegetables. However, I find when I have a large amount of vegetables to steam (and I’m not in the mood to get the steamer out of the pantry), I use a little speedy hack that saves a lot of time. I set a round cooling rack (the ones made for baking) in the bottom of a large pot and place the vegetables on top. Add a few cups of water and allow to steam until the vegetables are cooked to your preference.

Which Veggies can be steamed?

All vegetables work well in the steamer however these spring vegetables are particularly delicious steamed:

  • Sugar snap peas
  • Green beans
  • Asparagus
  • Zucchini
  • Broccolini
  • New potatoes
  • Baby carrots
  • Radishes

How do you add flavor to steamed vegetables?

Treating steamed vegetables like a salad is a great way to add flavor to vegetables. Make a zesty dressing with lemon juice, olive oil, salt, pepper and garlic. If you’re not vegan, adding cheese works very well too and feta and Parmesan are great options.
