I like to roast broccoli in the oven and it comes out crispy. Preheat your oven to 425 degrees. Place your cut broccoli on baking sheets. Drizzle olive oil over the broccoli, sprinkle with salt, pepper, red pepper flakes, and chopped garlic over the broccoli. Stir to combine. Place in your oven and bake for 20-25 minutes depending on the size of the florets. The broccoli comes out crispy and nothing like boiled or steamed broccoli. It's great.

If you like soups, use the veggies you don't use to make a nice vegetable broth. Simply put the vegetables in a pot and add water to a depth of one inch above the vegetables. Cook for 1 hour, then strain and add seasonings like a bit of salt, pepper or whatever strikes your fancy. You can then use the broth as a base for homemade soups or gravies.
You could also simply freeze the broccolli you don't use. Just put it in an airtight freezer container or freezer bag.
