Ingredients
- broccoli - frozen, pieces or whole
- olive oil
- sea salt
Why sea salt?
Sea salt accents the flavor of the broccoli more and will give that bite of flavor mingled with the crispness of the broccoli. It will help draw out the moisture for a more crisp roasted vegetable. Regular salt can be used, but the sea salt is ideal.
Roasting the broccoli
The broccoli only needs about 15 minutes to cook. It happens rather quickly, but it can go longer if you want a more cooked vegetable. For this recipe, the broiler can be used for about 4 minutes, if you choose to.
I used the broiler after roasting the broccoli in the oven. I wanted to give it a deeper bake and it did not disappoint.
Fresh or frozen broccoli
This recipe has been tested with frozen broccoli and for ease of a simple side dish, I recommend it. Fresh broccoli will alter the time that it takes to cook.
Roast
Roast the broccoli at 400 degrees for 15 minutes. If desired, broil for additional 5 minutes under a high temperature broiler. Be watchful to make sure the broccoli does not burn under the broiler.
FAQ
