Notes
RECIPE TIPS
- Dry the broccoli well after washing, moisture makes it steam instead of roast.
- Spread the florets in a single layer with space between them, overcrowding prevents browning.
- Cut florets to similar sizes so they cook evenly and finish at the same time.
- Toss once during roasting so the edges brown evenly without burning.
- Favorite variations: You can toss the broccoli, or top the broccoli with breadcrumbs. You just have to make sure that the breadcrumbs don’t become too soggy and defeat the whole purpose. Som
- Using a different cheese, like feta or mozzarella.
- Add heat with paprika, chilli flakes, or hot sauce
- Toss in some sliced almonds and roast
