I used a combo of broccoli and cauliflower because it's what I had on hand. Really glad I did!Classic flavor combo and so easy to throw together on roasted vegetables makes this infinitely adaptable.Subbed some garlic oil for the butter, and I was tempted to do as directed and make it all on the sheet pan - but for the sake of cleanup - I roasted on aluminum foil and tossed the florets in a bowl where I'd already whisked the oil, vinegar, and mustard.Perfect!

I've made this a few times and find it comes out best if I pre-heat the cooking sheet in a 425° oven before adding the broccoli.

This did not turn out well as written. The butter and vinegar go their separate ways on the hot baking sheet and are impossible to emulsify. The second time around I pre-melted the butter and whisked it together with the mustard and vinegar in a large storage bowl that has a lid. Then I added the roasted broccoli, put on the lid, and shook it gently for half a minute or so. Worked much better. I also preheated my sheet pan for a nice under-char on the broccoli. Tastes great.

Frozen broccoli has a lot more moisture in it, so it would not get caramelized.

This is delicious; as another commenter noted, it's a classic flavor combination. I cooked my broccoli for at 475 for 18 minutes to get good char while keeping it crisp-tender. Served as a tasty and bright side dish to pasta with red sauce. Learn from my mistake and only dress the broccoli you plan to eat immediately—otherwise leftovers will be soggy. Next time I'll add some whole garlic cloves to the sheet pan before roasting to add even more flavor.

Add a couple of sliced shallots to up the crunchy sweet taste.

This broccoli recipe is very good. The mustard flavor is quite subtle so I may up the amount by 1/2 tsp. next time. The vinegar gives it a barely slight tang that works well and isn't overpowering. I normally just roast my broccoli plain but the vinegar, butter and mustard make it taste better, is easy, and a flavor combo I'll repeat.

Deborah

For best results, make sure the broccoli (or whatever veggie you're using) is thoroughly dry before roasting. this way they roast instead of steam, which makes them softer, almost soggy.

Big yum. We had a lot of broccoli, including some baby broccoli that we needed to finish, along with a couple red peppers that were close to going over the edge. Oh, a d we wanted this for dinner, so I sliced up some tofu (wife's vegetarian). Didn't have red wine vinegar, so it was apple cider vinegar instead. It was really delicious, and healthy too. Thanks for this one

This reminds me of a dish I make I call brown butter broccoli. Cut the broccoli so it is flat on one side. Use a large sauté pan. Put in 3to 4 tablespoons of real butter and heat in the pan on med high heat until it starts to brown. Add the broccoli, as much as will fit and continue to cook until the bottom of the broccoli turns a nice brown, don’t burn it. Add about 1/4 cup of chicken broth, it will sizzle, take off the heat and cover with foil or a pan lid for a tight fit. Let sit for 4 min

Double the butter, vinegar and mustard, otherwise delicious!!

I have made this a few times now and it is delicious and so simple. Last time around I dissolved two anchovies in the sauce and it was an umami bomb. Highly recommend anchovies or 1/4 teaspoon of hondashi.

Lori

Surprised by how good this was, as it would not have occurred to me to add Dijon to roasted broccoli! Like a previous commenter, I only had cider vinegar on hand the first time I made this - - and it came out deliciously! The second time, I used red wine vinegar, and the result was a bit less tasty. Returning to cider vinegar tonight!

Yelly

Excellent effort to taste ratio

Carol

I just made this and could easily stand at the stove top where it's cooling and eat the whole thing. I took note and heated the sheet pan. With a piece of foccacia and a piece of cotija I've got a lovely lunch.

AG

This is such a great little flavor bomb. I combine this recipe with the Sautéed Broccoli With Garlic and Chile. Prepare the Sautéed Broccoli With Garlic and Chile as directed using half the oil, then during the last few minutes of heating, add a light coat of Ali's sauce (1T. butter, 1 T. vinegar and 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard. Nothing wrong with roasting it either.

The flavors and textures were AMAZING!!!!!

If you make this, double the recipe. Folks will want seconds and will raid plates if not appeased. The combination of the caramelization and the seasonings create an umami bomb.

Elena

Delicious! Since I was pregnant and the smell of cooked broccoli made me nauseated, I haven't been a fan. However, the roasting, the sauce and my Covid 19 nose which doesn't smell much anymore, makes this a winner. My husband loves broccoli, so now we have it more. Glad I ran across this recipe!I use balsamic vinegar, because we always have some, the Dijon mustard, butter and pink pepper, mixed in a bowl, then I dump the broccoli in and stir.

Laura Nak

There's beauty in simplicity! This is just delicious! I used convection roast and the broccoli had a nice char in 15 minutes. The sauce blended together easily.

LeslieJ

OMG - this was so good, especially when I threw in some capers!!! Definitely melt/mix the butter-vinegar-mustard in a bowl before tossing.

RM

I'm always looking for tasty but low salt recipes for when my dad comes over and this fit the bill. It was delicious and easy. I followed the tip from others to mix the butter, mustard and vinegar together first before tossing the broccoli in it. Worked very well.

Charis

Very high taste to effort ratio, which is what I'm always looking for in a recipe!

Tamara

I had shaved brussels sprouts on hand, so used those, halving the amount of veggies, but making all the sauce. It was terrific. I added crispy onions to finish.

jenny

Andrew says this is tasty

Sisi

I’m not a brocoli lover at all, but this recipe made it the opposite! This recipe is amazing. Everyone loved it around the table too. A must to have in your book.

Jennifer Parker

I could have eaten the entire pan myself! I did melt the butter first, so I could add the vinegar and mustard (I used honey dijon) to drizzle over the pan which made it easier to spread. This was absolutely delicious.

Michelle

Really good! I whisked the dressing in bowl and then poured over the broccoli because we did the veggies on the griddle, and it seemed like a better idea for the emulsification. Didn't feel like melting butter, and we didn't miss it. Need to try this with cauliflower and green beans also.

Mary

I had no sherry vinegar so I used Balsamic, worked very well. Also had no Digon mustard so I used Sweet Hot mustard. Delicious! Basically you could do anything with the recipe and it would work.

Barry Hudson

Great way to liven up broccoli. Made no sense to me to mix the sauce on the hot sheet pan, so melted the butter, mixed it in a small bowl , and simply brushed it on the broc as it came out of the oven. So simple.

kar0319

Just can’t see how a tablespoon of butter, a tablespoon of vinegar, and a teaspoon of mustard begins to make enough glaze for 1 1/2 pounds of broccoli. That’s not even 1/4 cup of glaze altogether.

FAQs

How do you stop broccoli from burning when roasting? ›

The tender, fuzzy “tree” tips of roasted broccoli florets are the most delicious, but they are also quick to burn. Make sure the florets are well-coated with olive oil to keep this from happening. Don't Crowd the Pan. If the florets are too close, they will steam instead of roast.

Why is my roasted broccoli mushy? ›

Eventually, it'll be like mush (i.e. baby food), if you overcook it. You do know you can eat broccoli raw, right. Most people give it a quick stir fry or blanch it briefly, which results in a somewhat harder texture when being served.

Should broccoli be washed before roasting? ›

Wash AND dry your veggies.

After you wash your head of broccoli, make sure to dry it off before you toss it with the oil. A little moisture is ok, but if it's too wet when it goes in the oven, it won't get brown and crisp.

Why does my roasted broccoli taste bitter? ›

Hi Maxine, there can be several reasons why broccoli is bitter, the main one is that it is starting to 'bolt', this is when the plant starts to flower prematurely. Bolting can be caused by temperature fluctuations (hot and cold) or too much heat, broccoli are a cool weather crop.

How do you crisp up broccoli? ›

You can soak the broccoli in a bowl of ice water for 30 minutes or more to help it regain its firmness. Another method is to slice off a portion of the stem and place the remaining stem and crown in a pot with a cup of water. Store it in the fridge overnight, and the broccoli will be crisp and fresh in the morning.

How do you keep broccoli crisp? ›

After you've rinsed and dried the head of broccoli, fill a glass or jar with an inch of water. Place the broccoli stem in the jar, and place the whole thing in the fridge. Sure, it will look like you have a bouquet of broccoli in your fridge, but this option keeps the stem hydrated, which keeps the broccoli crisp.

How healthy is roasted broccoli? ›

Yes! Baked broccoli is super healthy and full of fiber, vitamin C, and even protein.

How do you keep roasted vegetables from burning? ›

The sweet spot is between 400°F and 425°F. Go any higher, and the outside of your veggies will start to burn before the inside has a chance to cook through. Any lower? They'll still cook through (eventually), but the oven won't be hot enough to get your veggies golden, crispy, and caramelized.

Why do my roasted vegetables always burn? ›

Swich tip: the smaller the vegetable pieces, the higher the oven temperature needs to be. This may sound counter-intuitive. But here's why: smaller vegetables take less time to cook throughout. On the other hand, harder and bigger vegetables are better cooked at 350-400 to prevent the vegetables from burning.

Why does my broccoli always burn? ›

However, if cooked for too long, the water can evaporate and the broccoli can become dry enough to catch fire. Leaving the stem on - The thick stem of broccoli has less moisture than the florets. If left on while microwaving, the stem can heat up more quickly and reach a temperature where combustion occurs.

Why do my vegetables burn in the oven? ›

**Use the Right Temperature:** The ideal roasting temperature for most vegetables is between 375°F to 425°F (190°C to 220°C). Higher temperatures can cause burning on the outside before the inside is cooked.
