1. Prepare broccoli for any of the methods below by rinsing the broccoli well and allowing to dry (you don't need to dry if streaming). Cut the fresh broccoli florets away from the large stem, leaving an inch or two of the floret stems and use a knife to cut the florets into even pieces.

To Steam:

1. Place 1-2 cups of water in a heavy saucepan with a steamer. Bring water to a rolling boil. Add prepared broccoli to the steamer basket and place over the saucepan, covering with the lid. Reduce heat to a simmer (medium-low) and allow to steam for about 5 minutes or until broccoli is just fork tender. Do not over cook! Season with salt and pepper and serve immediately.

To Roast:

1. Preheat oven to 400-degrees.Place the broccoli, 2 tablespoons of olive oil (I love using garlic or lemon infused oils), and salt in a plastic zip-top bag. Seal bag and shake until broccoli is coated in oil and seasonings.
2. Place florets on a parchment-lined baking sheet and roast for 15-20 minutes or until cooked through and crispy. Remove from the oven and serve. Optional: toss with fresh shredded Parmesan cheese (or Pecorino Romano) and a squeeze of lemon juice before serving.

To Saute:

1. Heat oil in a large skillet, frying pan, or wok. Add broccoli and sauté over medium-high heat for 4-5 minutes. Add sauces and/or seasonings and continue sautéing an additional 1-2 minutes

To Air Fry:

1. Place the broccoli, 2 tablespoons of olive oil (I love using garlic or lemon infused oils), and salt in a plastic zip-top bag.Seal and shake until broccoli is coated in oil and seasonings.
2. Add 1-2 tablespoons of water to the bottom of your air fryer basket and then add broccoli. Air fry at 375 for 7 minutes. Check broccoli every couple minutes to make sure it isn't drying too fast and give it a good toss if needed.
