You can sauté your broccoli in a pan with a small amount of olive oil with fresh cut up onions and fresh garlic or you can put you broccoli in a oven, season it with a little olive oil and fresh garlic. Both ways will give the broccoli a nice taste. One way nice and soft and one way nice an crispy.
