Tips & Tricks (5)
- Floret Sizing 🥦Cut broccoli florets into uniform, bite-sized pieces to ensure even roasting and consistent caramelization across all pieces.
- Moisture Matters 💧Pat broccoli florets completely dry with paper towels before roasting to achieve maximum crispiness and prevent steaming.
- High Heat Magic 🔥Roast broccoli at 425-450°F to create delicious crispy edges and develop a rich, nutty caramelized flavor.
- Olive Oil Technique 🫒Toss broccoli in extra-virgin olive oil using your hands to ensure each floret is evenly and lightly coated for optimal roasting.
- Seasoning Strategy 🧂Season broccoli just before roasting and add a pinch of flaky sea salt after roasting for enhanced texture and flavor complexity.
