Instructions

1
Prep baby broccoli
- Trim bottom ½ inch off baby broccoli stems and discard. If stalks are wider than your pinky finger, cut in half lengthwise.
- In large bowl, toss together baby broccoli, 2 tablespoons cooking oil and a pinch of salt.
- Place baby broccoli in Zones 1, 2 and 3 of Brava metal tray.
- Pro Tip: Be sure to arrange baby broccoli in a single layer; if stacked too high, it will burn. Place broccoli florets toward the outside edge of the tray, with stems facing the middle.
