Why Broccoli Is the Low-Carb Vegetable You Should Buy Every Week

Broccoli has 3-4g net carbs per cup, holds up to high heat without going limp, and pairs with every protein on the planet. It's the most no-brainer green for low-carb cooking — buy two heads on Sundays, build dinner around them all week.

It works in three formats. Roasted at 425°F for char, stir-fried fast in a hot pan, or simmered into a creamy cheddar soup. All three are low-carb when you skip the rice underneath.

Home cooks on Pepper turn to these low-carb broccoli recipes again and again, proving that healthy eating can absolutely be a delicious, weekly habit.

Quick Tips

1
Florets should char, not steam
Roast at 425°F on a dry sheet pan. Crowded or wet broccoli = sad and gray.
2
Stems are the best part
Peel, slice, and roast alongside the florets. Sweeter and meatier than the heads.
3
Frozen is fine for soup
Frozen florets puree into broccoli-cheddar soup with no quality loss. Save the fresh for roasting.
4
Pair with fat, not starch
Olive oil, butter, cheese, bacon — broccoli with fat is low-carb perfection. Broccoli with rice is just side-dish filler.
