Our favorite fast food restaurant serves steamed broccoli as a choice instead of fries. However, there is nothing on them. If you eat in, you can order a side of melted cheese for the broccoli. During the pandemic, we would pick up our food in the drive thru and take it home. I started to doctor up my broccoli as follows. It's fewer calories than adding cheese and it's super easy to make at home.
