What you'll need
- Broccoli. I like using the florets and roughly chopped stems, too. Why waste? Stems are delicious.
- Oil. Use grapeseed, olive, or avocado oil.
- Soy Sauce. Or tamari for a gluten-free option.
- Agave Syrup. Or maple syrup.
- Paprika.
- Red Pepper Flakes. For a touch of heat.
How to make this Roasted Broccoli
1. In a small bowl, mix together the oil, soy sauce, agave, paprika, and red pepper flakes. Set aside.
2. Place the broccoli onto a large non-stick baking sheet and pour the soy-sauce mixture over it. Using your hands mix everything nicely.
3. Roast at 425°F for 20 minutes until cooked through (check by poking with a fork, should be fork tender) and lightly browned. The browned bits are the best! So don't worry if you see some charring.
How To Cut Broccoli
When shopping for broccoli at the store buy a head of broccoli with florets that are bright green (not too yellow or brown).
Once you bring the broccoli home, be sure to give it a good rinse. Then cut off the florets, separating them as necessary, trying to have similar-sized pieces. Cut the remaining stalk into medium pieces as use that as well.
How to Meal Prep With Broccoli
Since broccoli can be enjoyed raw or cooked, meal prepping is actually a breeze. Planning ahead for your meals means that you can cut up broccoli and have it ready to go and stored in your fridge for a few days before you're ready to use it.

When it's time to reheat, just pop it in the microwave for about 30 seconds and it should be hot and ready to enjoy in no time at all.
How to Serve
Serving cooked broccoli is also super simple. You can easily add on any type of topping that you want to bring in some other flavors and taste.
