Tips & Tricks (5)
- Moisture Maximization 💦Pat broccoli florets completely dry before roasting to ensure maximum crispiness and prevent steaming instead of caramelizing.
- Garlic Infusion Technique 🧄Mince garlic finely and let it sit for 10 minutes before adding to the olive oil to activate its most potent flavor compounds.
- Single Layer Perfection 🥦Spread broccoli florets in a single, uncrowded layer on the baking sheet to guarantee even roasting and prevent soggy results.
- High Heat Caramelization 🔥Roast at 425°F to achieve perfect golden-brown edges and create a delightful nutty flavor through quick Maillard reaction.
- Seasoning Timing Trick 🧂Salt broccoli just before roasting to draw out minimal moisture and prevent pre-cooking of the vegetable.
