Place 1 large chopped head of broccoli in a microwave-safe bowl with a lid. If you do not have a container with a lid, place the broccoli in a microwave-safe bowl and cover it with a microwave-safe plate.
Cook the broccoli in the microwave for 3–4 minutes, or until it reaches your desired level of tenderness.
Carefully remove the broccoli from the microwave.
Season with ¼ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon black pepper.
