    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.

    Broccoli from the grocery store is not farm fresh and 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 always best.

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

    What Can I Do with the Broccoli Stems?

    Broccoli has long stalks. The rough end 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

    Roasted Broccoli wtih Garlic
    • Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
    • In a large bowl, toss broccoli and garlic with oil, salt, and pepper.
    • Spread broccoli in a single layer on the baking sheet.
    • Roast 20 minutes, or until broccoli is tender, and garlic is golden brown.
    • When cool enough to handle, season to taste with salt and pepper.

    TOP TIP: Leave room between every piece of broccoli. If the pieces are touching, the broccoli will steam and the pieces will not get crispy.
