Vegan Broccoli Recipes

Explore 15+ vegan broccoli recipes that highlight this nutrient-dense vegetable! Broccoli is a powerhouse cruciferous vegetable. It's loaded with antioxidants, vitamins A, K, and C, fiber, folate, and protein. It's available year-round with peak season in the colder months. (So this is when you'll find tenderness, flavor, and cost at its best.)

Varieties: Most of the time I use standard green broccoli which is widely available. However there are also other types such as broccolini (baby broccoli that's a cross between broccoli and kale), broccoli raab, broccoflower (a cross between broccoli and cauliflower), and even broccoli sprouts which have become popular for their highly concentrated phytonutrients. The recipes below all use regular green broccoli since that's the most available type.

Buying tip: For best flavor and nutrients, look for tightly closed floret clusters that are dark green in color. Stalks and stems should be firm, with vibrant leaves that aren't wilted.
