Ingredients
- 1 head broccoli
Instructions
- Start with the head of the broccoli down on the cutting board, slice through the stalk to separate it from the smaller stems and the head of the broccoli, about 1-inch below the base of the head.
- You can leave the stems longer, or cut the stem completely off making them more stubby, depending on how you plan to use them.
- Slice through any very large florets, and pull the floret apart with your fingers. You can leave the florets larger for recipes like air fryer or roasted broccoli, or create smaller pieces of broccoli depending on your desired use.
Notes
- Flash freeze the cut broccoli for 30 minutes, on a baking sheet, then transfer to a freezer bag. It will keep fresh for up to 6-9 months.
- Storage: Store freshly cut broccoli in an airtight container, in the fridge for 3 to 4 days.
