    ROASTED BROCCOLI WITH GARLIC

    How to Select and Store Broccoli

    Choose firm stalks with tight dark green florets. Flowering and yellowing broccoli is not fresh. At the grocery store, turn the broccoli over and take a look at the underside of the florets. Because they're not farm fresh, most of them are starting to yellow. We have to make do sometimes, so choose the one that has the least yellow on it. Organic is preferred.

    Check the cut end of the stalk. It should be moist and not show signs of decay.

    What Do I Do with the Broccoli Stalks?

    Broccoli has long stalks. The tip of each stem should be trimmed and discarded. The long stalks can be peeled with a vegetable peeler to make them more tender. You can chop them up and use them in the dish; they taste good. You can also freeze them and use them in your next pot of vegetable soup.

    How to Roast Broccoli and Garlic

    Chop up the broccoli, toss it in a big bowl with chopped fresh garlic, a little olive oil, seasonings, and pop it in the oven. Within 5 minutes, your kitchen will have the sweet smell of garlic, and 10 minutes later, you will have a delicious meal or side dish.
