Believe it or not, we came up with a new way to chop broccoli: Include the stems!

Recipe information

  • Yield

    4 Servings

Ingredients

1 bunch broccoli (about 1½ lb.), ends trimmed, stems peeled
3 tablespoons olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons unseasoned rice vinegar
¼ cup unsalted, roasted peanuts, coarsely chopped
½ teaspoon sugar
2 tablespoons nutritional yeast, plus more
4 scallions, thinly sliced
Flaky sea salt (such as Maldon)

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 450°. Slice broccoli stems on a diagonal ¼” thick. Transfer to a rimmed baking sheet, toss with oil, and season with kosher salt and pepper. Gather up loose pieces of left-behind florets and finely chop. Roast stems until browned around edges, 15–20 minutes. Add vinegar; toss to coat.

    Step 2

    Meanwhile, heat a dry medium skillet, preferably cast iron, over medium-high. Add florets. Season with kosher salt and pepper and cook, stirring often, until bright green and lightly charred in spots, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to low; add peanuts and sugar. Cook, stirring, until nuts are golden brown. Stir in 2 Tbsp. nutritional yeast; season again.

    Step 3

    Serve broccoli stems and florets topped with scallions, sea salt, and more yeast.
