Broccoli's in season from the fall through the spring, making it a great option for a fresh veggie in the winter months. Love that!
In the off-season, frozen broccoli is often the better (and cheaper!) choice because vegetables are usually frozen immediately after picking which helps to preserve the nutritional content (hello, fiber and vitamin C!).
What to make with broccoli
Broccoli is an easy option roasted or sautéed for a simple side dish (my favorite way to enjoy it is roasted with olive oil and salt).
But broccoli can also be the star of the meal! It's delish in pasta, rice bakes, stir fries, soups, salads, quiches, and more.
