I can’t get roasted broccoli right desu. Any tips? What’s your recipe? I am big on the texture of broccoli so if there’s not a bit of bite it feels like baby food. Light steam is normally my favorite

Toss it in oil and salt and make sure it's spread out on the tray, takes like half an hour at 425F. What's been wrong about your attempts?

You, like me, like broccoli still crunchy.
do less than half an hour then, 15 mins is enough, preheated oven

Smaller florets help. If you slice a notch in the stem end and pull them apart instead of slicing straight through you avoid the broccoli confetti.

Roasting/searing any brassica is awesome. My tip is to steam/parboil it first though, so it's more or less cooked, then hit it with heat for a very short time. It's a failsafe just in case the searing leaves it too raw. I use this method for sprouts at Xmas and they are both sweet and savoury.

For me, it's getting a microwave steamer, putting a bit of drinking water in it, squeeze half a lemon, and a pound of broccoli. salt and pepper on top, cover with steamer lid, microwave for 7-9 mins until I can pierce easily with a fork.
Don't get me wrong, I like just plain steamed broccoli that you have to use a little force to bite or stab into, I just prefer the lemony soft ones
Also I prefer the stem over the florets

i was recently enlightened to blanching and pan searing veggies and all that shit. My breakfast last week has been things like.. carrots. broccoli. brussels sprouts. Today it was cauliflower. And it tastes so good. Holy shit my mother always just cooked things in water and it was super bland and not tasty. I didn't know better for a good while. Knowing how to do it now is so, so much better

It's ridiculous how many actual professional cooks don't know how to prep veggies. I live in a fatfuck meat country where grown ass adults frequently refuse to eat vegetables at all. When I learned about all the different ways to make veggies it opened my eyes. Barely eating meat anymore and if I do I have a good ass veggie side. I might actually go vegetarian soon just because the versatility of veggies is all I need. Can't imagine living in a cooked broccoli without seasoning world again.

Roasted broccoli with a bit of garlic, red onion and cream cheese is amazing.

[Anonymous No.17136318]

Except that I like broccoli in literally every other application /except/ roasted. All vegetables, really. I don't like any roasted except sweetcorn but brassica seem to be the worst cooked that way. Cauliflower, kale, broccoli, brussells sprouts, turnips etc are all, to my tastes, terrible when roasted. Sauteed, stirfried, stewed, deep-fried and steamed are all delicious but roasted is just not something I can get behind.

[Anonymous No.17136327]

>>17136282
It's just more broccoli, very tender after peeling. You can cook it with the florets or do another dish with it, like a little salad.

>>17136247
If it's getting soft in the oven, maybe it's too bunched up and steaming itself?

[Anonymous No.17136342]

>>17136204
I shred them, blanch them, and have them for slaw. Alternately, sauteed in olive oil with garlic and chili. Or cut into cubes and made into chowder. Basically anything kohlrabi can do.

>>17134151
Blanched broccoli with citronette is one of my favourite simple salads. Great side to roasted fish.

>>17132983
All brassica go well with caraway. Also dill seed, but use that shit sparingly as it's quite potent. Much more so than the herb.
Really, though, I think it's great without spices. Just some aromatics and I'm golden.

>>17131128
Is it just me or are non-leafy brassica fucking garbage once frozen? Broccoli, kohlrabi, brussells sprouts, cauliflower, cabbage and so on seem to turn disgustingly sweet when frozen. I will only eat them prepared from fresh.

>turn disgustingly sweet when frozen.
I have read about how brassicas increase their sugar content to decrease the freezing point of the intracellular water and avoid frost damage in winter, but I didn't know that happens when the plants are cut off as well. Goddamn I have to try this

[Anonymous No.17136636]

>>17136550
Really? I had no idea. I guess that's the reason, then.
Incoming wall of text:
See, I love cauliflower, right? And there's this cauliflower fried rice dish I love. Grated cauliflower sauteed with minced garlic and minced red-and-green chilli before adding cooked rice and sauteeing it all together until finish through then plated up, topped with flaked smoked fish, crisp fried shallot, coriander leaves and a fried egg, in that order. Quick and easy, yeah?
But here's the thing: I thought I'd make it quicker and easier if I grated the cauliflower far in advance and froze it in portion sizes. Well, next time I wanted my cauliflower deliciousness, it was horridly sweet. I knew it wasn't a bad cauliflower because I used half of it make a few different other dishes and they tasted fine.
Didn't have any suspicions on what could have caused it until I bought my first bag of frozen brussells sprouts and they too were sweet.
I thought it was weird since I freeze blanched kale leaves all them and they taste fine. I blanch kale, strip the leaves from the stems and freeze the leaves for future cookery, eating the stems that day in some other preparation. Well, one day, I froze the stems, too. Lo-and-behold, they had also turned sweet. Which is fucking weird because I blanched the bitches before hand.
So yeah, idfk why the freezing seems to cause this, I just know that it's awful.
