- ¼ cup almonds (sliced)
- ¼ cup butter (vegan, ½ stick)

Cook the broccoli
- Place the broccoli and ¼ cup water in a microwave safe cereal bowl. Cover with a mis-matched lid to allow steam to easily escape. See Notes.
- Cook the broccoli for 60 seconds. Drain the excess water off. The butter should be melted by now.
