On its own, roasted broccoli is a treat: caramelized and crisp-tender, with frizzled florets and sweet stems. To prevent overcooking, roast at a high heat and on one side the whole time. Flipping the broccoli to brown on both sides increases the chance that it will dry out or turn to mush before the outsides are as caramelized as you like. To give the broccoli a little pizzazz, this recipe takes inspiration from a classic mustard pan sauce, which makes chicken breasts or steaks sparkle. Toss the broccoli with butter, vinegar and Dijon mustard right out of the oven, and the heat from the sheet pan will meld them into a silky, bright sauce.

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Heat the oven to 450 degrees. On a baking sheet, toss the broccoli with the olive oil, salt and pepper. Arrange in a single layer, cut-sides down, and roast, without flipping, until browned and crisp-tender, 15 to 20 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    Add the butter, vinegar and mustard to the broccoli on the sheet pan and toss until the butter’s melted, scraping up browned bits from the pan as you go. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

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!

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.

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.

Liked it

Liked it but didn’t love it as much as I hoped to. Decent flavors but didn’t leave me wanting for more. I enjoyed the leftovers for a healthy snack.

Nice, simple way to make broccoli. Would probably also be good for cauliflower. The texture is outstanding, almost candied. Use parchment paper on the sheet pan for easy cleanup. My only complaint is how bad roasting broccoli makes the house smell! I froze the leftovers and will use them later for creamy broccoli soup.

This has become at least a weekly staple in my house. Soooo good and easy too! The best compliment was from an adolescent boy who said "I don't even like broccoli and I love this!"
