Broccoli

Method	Temp	Time	Notes
Roasted	425°F (220°C)	18–22 min	Cut florets to expose flat sides and spread in a single layer without crowding for crispy-edged browning.
Steamed	Steamer basket over simmering water, covered	6–8 min	A wide skillet with just a little simmering water can steam broccoli in as little as 4–5 min.
Sautéed	Medium heat, covered partway	8–10 min	Sauté 3–4 min, then add a splash of water and cover to steam-finish without scorching the tips.
Blanched	Boiling salted water, then ice bath	2–3 min	Shock in ice water immediately to lock in bright green color before sautéing or grilling.
Grilled	Medium-high, direct heat (~400°F)	6–8 min, turning once	Blanch thick stalks a minute first so centers cook through by the time florets char.

Peel the tough outer layer off broccoli stalks and slice them thinly so they finish cooking at the same time as the florets.
