🥘 Ingredients and Substitutions
- Broccoli - use fresh broccoli only for this recipe. Whether it's precut florets or about 2 crowns cut on your own, is a matter of convenience and cost. Do no use frozen broccoli.
- Shallots - shallots are a very small onion-like vegetables with a sweeter garlic flavor. If you can't find any, yellow onions work well too. Substitute about ¼ of a medium onion.
- Garlic - garlic is clutch in this recipe, but you can go with garlic powder if you're in a pinch. I would use about ½ a teaspoon of garlic powder.
- Olive oil - the rich flavor of extra virgin olive oil works great here, but any cooking fat will do: ghee, coconut oil, or butter are good options.
📋 How to Make It
STEP 1: Toss the broccoli florets, sliced shallots, and chopped garlic in a bowl. Drizzle the mixture with olive oil and toss everything with two spoons or your hands to coat in olive oil.
STEP 2: Spread the broccoli mixture on a parchment lined baking sheet and then season with ½ a teaspoon each of salt and pepper. Then all that's left to do is bake them!
⏲ Cooking Time and Temperature
Roast the broccoli in a 400 degree oven for 10 - 15 minutes depending on how crisp you like your broccoli. 10 minutes will be just slightly tender, 15 minutes will be very tender.
🥣 Storage and Reheating
Store the broccoli in an airtight container for up to 5 days in the fridge.
Oven reheating: Spread leftovers on a baking sheet and reheat in a 300˚ Fahrenheit oven for 10 minutes.
Microwave reheating: in a microwave safe container reheat on high heat for 60 seconds.
