Study doesn't look at roasting broccoli, which is tragic, because 1) it's the best way to prepare broccoli, and 2) it's a much slower cooking process than any of the 3 mentioned (boil, microwave, or stir fry), and the whole article is about the time required to develop nutrients.

Also, boiling and microwaving broccoli, and most other veggies, should be a criminal offense. No wonder kids learn to hate their vegetables.

it cracks me up how people will go through so much effort to prepare meat specific ways to get the right texture and flavor and then turn to something like broccoli and just boil it and go "vegetables suck"

Medium rare steak guy but for broccoli.

Roasting is awesome for so many vegetables. I used to absolutely despise Brussels sprouts until I tried a roasted one with some Parmesan. Now it’s one of my favorites.

I steam my broccoli.

Yes, I was wondering about other cooking methods too. Does slow cooking provide good results?
