Ann's Tips and Tricks
Broccoli can come in all shapes and sizes, from relatively slender tufted stems, to sturdy plants that resemble miniature trees. When cutting the veggie into wedges to roast, bear this in mind. To cook evenly, the spears should be thin with only an inch or so of floret at the top, so cut them accordingly.
