Much like kale, broccoli hasn’t always been the most popular food. No, for a long time, it was nothing more than every ’90s child’s waking nightmare—the scourge of the earth, if you asked 5-year-old me.
But that was then. By now, most of us have come around to the tree-shaped vegetable, and a deep dive into Pinterest unearths tons of creative ways to use it. Naturally there are a lot of classic roasted broccoli recipes out there, but there are also more out-of-the-box options like broccoli pizza crust, tater tots, and muffin cups. This famously hated ingredient is finally getting its hard-earned moment in the spotlight.
And that’s great. The veggie is packed with tons of nutrients like vitamin A, fiber, and even protein, to name a few. And it’s super affordable. You can buy a huge head of broccoli for practically nothing. That’s usually enough broccoli for three meals or more!
Get in on the broccoli lovin’ with one of these 15 recipes. Some of them are more adventurous, others are classics. But one thing is true for all of them: They’re freakin’ delicious.
