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.
