Steaming veggies in the microwave is so quick and easy using my foolproof ziplock bag method. Delicious freshly cooked vegetables that retain all their nutrients in just 3 minutes!

We all know that steaming vegetables is much healthier than boiling as they don't lose so many of their nutrients in the cooking process. But if like me you don't have space to fill your kitchen with yet another gadget or appliance then I've got a super easy way to steam them in just 3 minutes in the microwave.

All you need for this is a plastic ziplock or freezer bag. Just make sure it's BPA free and safe for microwave use. You don't need to add any water, the veggies will cook in their own steam. If you would like to flavour them a bit more then simply add a knob of butter and some dried herbs. Delicious!

Instructions

1. Chop any large vegetables like broccoli or cauliflower into bite sized pieces and add them all to a microwave-safe plastic bag.
2. Seal the bag ¾ of the way across if using a ziplock bag but be sure to leave a small gap so the steam can escape.
3. Put the bag into the microwave and cook on high for about 3 minutes.
4. Open the door and allow the steam to escape and the bag to cool down. Check if the vegetables are cooked enough. If not cook for another minute.
5. Serve immediately.
