Fresh Broccoli: Easy Ways to Cook It Right

Start by rinsing your broccoli under cool water and drying it off. Cut the head in half, then chop the florets and peeled stems into bite-sized pieces. For a healthy option, steam the broccoli for about 5 minutes until fork-tender, or microwave it with a splash of water for 3-4 minutes. Both methods keep the nutrients in and calories low. If you want a richer flavor, toss the pieces in olive oil and roast at 425°F for 20-25 minutes, or sauté in a pan for 6-7 minutes. Roasting gives a nutty crunch, while sautéing keeps it vibrant and tasty. Skip boiling—it's easy to overcook and lose nutrients. Season with salt and pepper, and you’re set! #BroccoliRecipes #HealthyCooking #VeggieTips #Food #Cooking
