A quick look at the Bungie Help forums has revealed that Broccoli is getting mentioned on a regular basis, and not in a discussion of its nutritional benefits.

How To Fix The Destiny 2 Broccoli Error
In terms of resolving the Broccoli error, there are a couple of recommended steps from Bungie, plus a few further workarounds that players themselves have suggested:

What Is The Witch Queen Broccoli Error?
As we suggested earlier, the Broccoli issue existed prior to the emergence of The Witch Queen. But the release of the new content appears to have made this error rear its ugly, miniature-tree head once more.
The error itself seems to be affecting players in different ways. Some find it happening in specific places, or interacting with specific characters. While others are reporting more general issues, where the error appears without being linked to any specific place or person. Regardless, the error leads to the game crashing, making it impossible for players to go any further at that point.

This makes it much more challenging to identify what the specific cause is for individual players. But according to Bungie, the most common cause for this error is an issue with detecting the player's GPU. They believe this is typically caused by a driver crash. So try the fixes we've suggested above, and hopefully, leafy green vegetables will no longer be a concern for you.
