One of my favorite ways to fix broccoli is to steam it with lemon zest and butter sauce. I have made many sheet pan dinners with chicken and broccoli as well. Those are my two favorites.
Hi Leanne, oh my gosh, I love lemon zest! I’m making lemon extract today, my whole kitchen smells like lemon!! I love making sheet pan dinners, dinner is done in no time!! Love it! Linda
UMy mom always served steamed broccoli with a crust of vinegar on the table, as if they were turnip greens. I decided to try balsamic vinegar on it and that is really delicious!
Hi Julie, oh my gosh, I love balsamic vinegar, I’m going to try this!! Thanks for the tip! Linda
