A sensational roasted broccoli recipe by Koutaro Kenzou. Learn the unique roasting technique that achieves both char and juiciness, and how to make even the often-discarded stems delicious. Top generously with cheese for a dish that's sure to be a lifesaver when you need an extra side.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients (2-3 servings)

  • 1 head Broccoli
  • Grated Cheese (to taste)

Seasonings

  • Salt (to taste)
  • Olive Oil 2 tbsp
  • Water 3-4 tbsp
  • Black Pepper (to taste)

Steps

  1. Cut the florets of 1 head of broccoli diagonally from the base. If large, cut each floret into three pieces. Make deep cuts into the stems and tear them by hand for a cleaner finish.
  2. Peel the tough outer skin of the cut broccoli stems thickly, then cut them into pieces about the size of nanohana buds.
  3. Heat 2 tbsp of olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat.
  4. Add the broccoli florets and stems. Place them cut-side down and roast slowly over low heat.
  5. Add 3-4 tbsp of water, cover with aluminum foil as a makeshift lid, and steam-roast. [This is the key!] Steaming and roasting simultaneously achieves both a smoky aroma and juiciness.
  6. Once one side is browned, remove the foil lid. Flip the broccoli, replace the foil lid, and roast both sides until golden brown.
  7. When the entire surface is browned, remove the foil lid and season with a pinch of salt to taste.
  8. Arrange on a plate.
  9. Top generously with grated cheese to taste as desired, and finish with a sprinkle of black pepper to taste.
