Broccoli is a versatile vegetable that can be cooked in a variety of ways. One of the most popular cooking methods is "blasting," which involves tossing the broccoli with a small amount of oil and spices before roasting it at a very high temperature. This method results in broccoli that is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with a slightly charred flavor. Blasted broccoli is a great side dish or snack, and it can also be used in salads, soups, and stews. It is a healthy and delicious way to enjoy this cruciferous vegetable.

After oven roasting asparagus, green beans, cauliflower I thought WHY NOT BROCCOLI. The result is crispy on the outside, tender on the inside and a great new way for me to enjoy one of my favorite veggies. Hope you like it too.

BLASTED BROCCOLI



Blasted Broccoli image

This recipe is really delicious and couldn't be simpler to make, and only takes a few minutes to cook. The broccoli comes out crisp-tender; the broccoli has a slightly crisp exterior from cooking it at such high heat. This recipe is from Food and Wine.

Provided by TasteTester

Categories     Vegetable

Time 13m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

4 cups broccoli florets, rinsed and slightly drained
olive oil, to taste
sea salt, to taste
balsamic vinegar, to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 500 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Arrange the broccoli florets in a single layer on a baking sheet.
  • Toss florets with olive oil and salt.
  • Roast just until cooked through and slightly brown and crispy at the edges, just a few minutes.
  • Remove the broccoli to a bowl.
  • Toss with balsamic vinegar to taste.
  • Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Choose the right broccoli: Look for broccoli crowns that are deep green in color and have tightly closed florets. Avoid broccoli that is yellowing or has brown spots.
  • Prepare the broccoli properly: Cut the broccoli into 1-inch florets. If using a steamer, place the florets in a steamer basket over a pot of boiling water. Cover and steam for 5-7 minutes, or until the broccoli is tender-crisp. If using the microwave, place the florets in a microwave-safe bowl with 1/4 cup of water. Cover and microwave on high for 2-3 minutes, or until the broccoli is tender-crisp.
  • Season the broccoli: Before serving, season the broccoli with salt, pepper, and other desired seasonings. You can also add a drizzle of olive oil or melted butter for extra flavor.
  • Serve the broccoli immediately: Broccoli is best served hot or warm. You can also use it in salads, stir-fries, and other dishes.

Conclusion:

Broccoli is a delicious and nutritious vegetable that can be enjoyed in a variety of ways. By following these tips, you can ensure that your broccoli is cooked perfectly every time. So next time you're looking for a healthy and flavorful side dish, give roasted broccoli a try!
