What kind of monster eats raw broccoli? Saute that shit, I don't want to be picking bits out of my teeth
Roasted is the way to go. Toss in a generous amount of olive oil, salt, roast on a sheet pan at 425F for 15m, turn them roast an additional 5-10 minutes dictated by size and desired doneness.
Blanched, battered, deep fried, and rolled in MnM minis baby
That sounds horrific. Saving this to try. (I do hope you were being sarcastic, but I figure if my arteries clog, that will be a better way to go)
Edit: The batter, were you thinking like a Monte Cristo type batter? (If you gave never had one it is essentially pancake batter)
While I don't believe there is any way to cook broccoli that will make it taste good, I think this approach has the best chance. The problem, however, is that the oil and salt rather defeat the health benefits of eating the vegetables in the first place...
I have great news for you, olive oil makes it so that your body more readily accepts cancer-fighting nutrients from vegetables.
One of the beneficial effects of olive oil is that it improves the bioavailability of lipophilic compounds such as carotenoids by acting as a food excipient, and enhances nutrient extraction and bioaccessibility
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6514867/I don’t know how much oil you were imagining but I recommend 1tsp to 1tbsp to coat your pan.
And salt is not inherently bad for you, in fact you need it in your diet for good cardiovascular health:
…the risk of adverse health outcomes increases when sodium intakes exceeds 5 g/day or is below 3 g/day.

Equal parts raw broccoli and ranch
Raw broccoli from the grocery store is just wrong. But fresh from a garden, sometimes with blossoms in it? That's good stuff on a summer day.
