Steps:
- Heat oven to 350 degrees. Spread bread crumbs on a rimmed baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Bake until golden, about 10 minutes, turning pan and stirring crumbs occasionally to ensure even browning. Remove from oven and transfer crumbs to a bowl. Stir in black pepper and salt to taste. Set aside at room temperature.
- Cut off thick stems of broccoli and save for another purpose, such as soup. Cut broccoli tops into 3-inch-long spears of approximately equal size.
- Put a large skillet over medium-high heat. Melt butter, add broccoli spears and season with salt. Add 1 cup water, turn heat to high and cover skillet with a tight-fitting lid. Cook rapidly until firm-tender but still bright green, about 5 minutes. The broccoli should absorb all the butter and water. (If there is any buttery liquid left, spoon over broccoli just before serving.)
- Transfer broccoli to a serving platter or a large wide shallow bowl. Sprinkle generously with peppery crumbs. Using a vegetable peeler, shave Parmesan into rough shards and scatter over the top.

Steps:
- Discard tough lower third of broccoli stem. Peel remaining stem and cut crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Cut broccoli into 2-inch florets. In a steamer set over boiling water steam broccoli, covered, until crisp-tender, 4 to 5 minutes.
- While broccoli is steaming, finely chop garlic and in a small skillet combine with oil, lemon juice, and salt and pepper to taste. Heat garlic mixture over moderate heat until garlic is fragrant. In a bowl toss broccoli with garlic mixture.
Tips:
- Choose the right broccoli: Look for broccoli that is deep green in color with tightly closed florets. Avoid broccoli that is yellowing or has loose florets.
- Steam the broccoli properly: Steaming is the best way to cook broccoli because it preserves its nutrients and bright green color. To steam broccoli, place it in a steamer basket over boiling water. Cover the pot and steam the broccoli for 3-5 minutes, or until it is tender but still slightly crunchy.
- Make sure the garlic is finely minced: This will help it distribute its flavor evenly throughout the dish.
- Use high-quality bread crumbs: Freshly made bread crumbs will give the dish a better flavor and texture than store-bought bread crumbs.
- Don't overcook the garlic: Garlic can burn easily, so be careful not to cook it for too long. Add it to the pan last and cook it for just a minute or two, until it is fragrant.
- Season the broccoli to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a drizzle of olive oil.
Conclusion:
Steamed broccoli with garlic and bread crumbs is a simple but delicious side dish that can be enjoyed on its own or as part of a larger meal. It is a healthy and flavorful dish that is perfect for any occasion.
