Freeze: Arrange the florets in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Place the tray in the freezer for 1-2 hours, or until the broccoli is frozen solid.
Store: Place the tray in the freezer for 1-2 hours, or until the broccoli is frozen solid. Label the bags or containers with the date and contents, and store them in the freezer for up to 12 months.
