½
cup
water
Instructions
Cut cauliflower into florets.
Place cauliflower florets in a microwave-safe bowl with a lid (use a microwave trivet if you have one).
Microwave cauliflower on high for 5 minutes, then allow to steam for an additional 2 minutes (do not remove the lid from the bowl during this time).
Once steaming time is up, carefully remove the lid from the bowl, it is full of hot steam, which will all escape when the lid is removed.
Serve cauliflower with a sprinkle of kosher salt, or topped with butter. Enjoy!
