Tips & Tricks (5)

  • Moisture Management 💦
    Pat broccoli florets completely dry before roasting to ensure maximum crispiness and prevent steaming instead of caramelization.
  • Sesame Seed Toasting Technique 🥜
    Toast sesame seeds in a dry skillet for 2-3 minutes before sprinkling to unlock their deepest, nuttiest flavor profile.
  • Spacing is Key 🥦
    Use a large baking sheet and spread broccoli in a single layer with space between florets to guarantee even roasting and prevent soggy edges.
  • Tamari Glaze Timing 🥢
    Add tamari sauce and brown sugar in the last 5 minutes of roasting to prevent burning while creating a perfect caramelized exterior.
  • Heat Management Hack 🔥
    Preheat your baking sheet in the oven for 5 minutes before adding broccoli to create an instant sear and enhance caramelization.
