- 1 head broccoli (cut into bite-sized pieces)
- butter or olive oil

Roasted Broccoli
Heat oven to 425°F.
Toss broccoli florets in ½ tablespoon olive oil and season with salt & pepper.
Roast for 20-30 minutes (will depend on the size of your florets), stirring up halfway through.
The roasted broccoli is done when you see little brown bits and it is soft in the middle.
Serve as is, or sprinkle with lemon juice, parmesan cheese or a sauce.
Sautéed Broccoli
Heat ½ tablespoon butter or olive oil in a nonstick pan over medium heat.
Add broccoli, season with salt & pepper, cover and cook for 5 minutes.
Remove the cover and cook for another 5 minutes, or until softened and slightly browned.
Serve as is, or sprinkle with almond slices, parmesan cheese, or a drizzle of balsamic reduction.
Steamed Broccoli
Heat ½ inch water in a pan or pot. If you have a steamer insert, add this over the water.
Add broccoli, cover and steam for 3-5 minutes, until bright green and soft in the middle.
Grilled Broccoli
Heat grill over medium heat (350°F).
Toss broccoli in olive oil, and season with salt & pepper.
Add broccoli to a vegetable grilling plate and grill for 7-10 minutes, or until lightly charred and cooked through.
