    Can I just say, try baking broccoli. A little sea salt and olive oil, It gets crispy and tender. So amazing, like a treat! I can't say what temp and how long but try 400 for 10+ minutes until browned slightly. Amazing. Works well with asparagus and green beans too!

    I've never tried broccoli or green beans, but I've had asparagus baked like this and it's delicious. It's really easy and quick too.

    I love broccoli, I eat it all the time. Stir fried. All it needs is a little salt and garlic. Garlic makes a massive difference!!

    Just shake some cayenne pepper over it then steam or bake it. I do a little salt too. I mostly do this with baked green beans. Also garlic really goes well with broccoli.

    No way! I've never thought to do that. You should try Garden of Eaten Red Hot Blues.

    nutritional yeast is good on everything lol and maybe try coconut aminos? it's like soy sauce but a lot lower in sodium than even reduced sodium soy sauce

    I love steamed broccoli omg - all I need is a little salt.

    That being said, a bit of butter-y stuff is good, as well as pepper. I worship at the altar of Maggi, which tastes great with basically everything. Seconding the nutritional yeast idea - it's great on spaghetti, and I'm sure it'd be fabulous on broccoli, too! :heart:

    I honestly can't say I've ever cooked broccoli any other way besides steam since I buy the steamfresh frozen broccoli. Can you roast raw broccoli?

    Yes you can. I like it roasted with chopped onion and garlic. You can also try tossing it in a teaspoon of sesame oil instead of olive oil for a nutty flavor.

    Low sodium Tamari or soy sauce, nutritional yeast, and any salt-free table seasoning. This is seriously so good on all veggies!

    I've been doing brown butter, balsamic, and soy sauce on my veggies lately. Soo good.

    this is the only way my daughter will eat it. and it's even better if the edges get a little black from being slightly overcooked.

    Try Vietnamese or other Asian fish sauce -- delicious. Lots of sodium, but a little goes a long way.
