Description

A mix of green and purple colored florets with a thick, light green stalk.

Using a paring knife, first cut the florets off the top of the broccoli and then cut them into smaller uniform pieces. Remove the tough outer skin from the stalk and slice the stalk crosswise into small disks.

ROAST: Preheat the oven to 425°F. Toss broccoli with olive oil, salt, and pepper, and bake for 15-30 minutes

STEAM: Fill a saucepan with a few inches of water and place steamer basket on top, bring water to a simmer at medium-high heat, and place broccoli in the steamer basket. Steam for 4-5 minutes before draining and rinsing with cold water.

Store in the refrigerator in a tightly sealed plastic or compostable bag for up to a week.
