I love roasting broccoli at high heat and tossing it with a garlic/lemon/olive oil dressing immediately after removing it from the oven. It is delicious.
I have to admit, the simpler the better for me! Steam to just tender then top with a bit of really good salt and a generous slice of really good butter...
I can attest that the three linked above are all exciting and totally delicious. Here are the direct links:

Or 'water fried'. With a bit of butter and red pepper flakes and finish with sesame oil and sea salt.
