Cutting broccoli properly is important if you want to make sure that your broccoli pieces are all the same size. This will ensure that they cook evenly and taste great. With a few simple steps, you can cut broccoli like a pro.
1. Cut off the florets
Start by cutting off the florets, which are the small green parts of the broccoli. You can do this by holding the broccoli in one hand and using a sharp knife to cut through the stalk. If necessary, trim off any tough ends with the knife.
2. Cut the florets into pieces
Once you have all of the florets, start cutting them into pieces. If you want them to be bite-sized, simply cut them in half. If you want them to be smaller, cut them into thirds or quarters.
3. Slice the stalk
Once you havecut off all of the florets, you can slice the stalk into thin pieces. Simply hold the stalk in one hand and use a sharp knife to slice it into thin strips. You can then add these slices to your other broccoli pieces or save them for another recipe.
