How to Select Broccoli
Let me share some pointers to selecting broccoli at the store. These tips and tricks will help you to bring home fresh and tasty broccoli every single time!
- The stem should be nice and firm when you squeeze it gently. If it feels squishy or soft it means it isn’t the freshest and could be going bad.
- Look for bright green colored heads. Steer clear of Broccoli heads that have yellowing or any discoloration.
- For the broccoli florets see that they are compact and tight. If you see there is larger spacing that is a sign that the broccoli is not very fresh.
How Do You Store Broccoli
Put your broccoli in a drawer in the fridge when you get home, This hearty green veggie thrives in cooler temps, so keep it in the fridge till you are ready to use.
What to Serve With Garlic Parmesan Broccoli
You can pair this broccoli with any of your favorite main dishes. We have paired it with steak, chicken, pork tenderloin, burgers off the grill and the list goes on. Feel free to try out this recipe with your favorite main dish this week.

Yes, feel free to reach for a different flavor of cheese. Just make sure that you watch it in the oven, as each kind of cheese will get done cooking at different times. We have done pepper jack before for a little kick, Monterey jack, and even parmesan.
Can Roasted Broccoli Be Reheated

I tired this recipe and cooked it for the said time (1min) and it was not done what so ever.
Just cook it a bit longer. Everyone has their own doneness preference with veggies.
