IMO broccolis are the ultimate vegetable. Tasty, extremely healthy and easy to prepare, but how can you pimp them? What I did yesterday is I boiled them, emptied the pot, and then basically let them simmer with a bunch of garlic and olive oil.

But NGL that‘s all I have. IDK WTF can be done easily with broccolis. Can broccoli bros help me out here? It needs to be simple and easy.
 
Microwave it.
It actually brings out more vitamins and nutrients out of it.
The easiest, fastest, and possibly most useful way to cook broccoli.

Steam them or saute them. You can make beef and broccoli hahaha
 
You can just flash it in boiling water for a moment, then you can roast it in the oven, cook it in a pan. Love covering it with cheese or just some light salt and pepper. Goes good in eggs for breakfast too.
 
Dump the broccoli in a wok and add a bit of water to steam it until it's half cooked, then add bacon fat or sausage grease and stir fry it until it's done.
 
Chop it bite sized. Toss in olive oil sprinkle some kosher salt and pepper. on a pan and roast at 400 for 15 minutes. Then while still on the pan sprinkle some real grated Parmesan cheese and roast for another 5.
 
Lots of options. Personally I like them simple. A drizzle of olive oil, salt, pepper, oregano and I bake them in the oven until they're a bit crusty.

You can do them in casseroles or sauté with tomato paste and garlic. A wok with carrots and other vegetables.

Lots of options as I said.
 
Yeah, love broccoli.
I usually throw on some oiive oil, bacon bits & parmesan cheese for toppings.
Edit;
Had some with KC strip tonight for dinner, again.
Same thing 2 nights in a row.

I steam it or eat it raw. After I steam it, I keep the leftovers in the fridge in an oil and vinegar mix and eat it cold the next day.

Also a staple ingredient in stir fries when I cook one.

If I’m ever at an Indian or a Japanese restaurant I get the tempura vegetables (can’t remember the Indian fried vegetable name). Broccolis are the best.

Edit: Indian battered and fried vegetables are Pakora
 
I'm making a shrimp stir fry with broccoli tonight. Will be boiling it. Last night I put it in the oven and melted Parmesan cheese on it.
