Broccoli. Everyone’s favorite tree-shaped vegetable.

The cruciferous family is home to a variety of healthy plant foods, but broccoli seems to always be somewhere towards the top for me.

Additionally, you can keep the stalks and make a fantastic vegetable stock on the back end. The best of both worlds.

So today, we are making:

• Garlic Roasted Broccoli
• Broccoli & Cabbage Salad
• Broccoli & Chickpea Stir-Fry

The written recipes and accomanying video can be found below.
