Recipe FAQ’s
Broccoli is done when it has browned and softened to your liking – broccoli crowns may slightly char, which brings a delicious earthy flavor (it will not taste burnt).
Broccoli can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to five days, or frozen for up to four months.
