To tell you we’ve all been cooking broccoli wrong

[Pbbananabagel]

Roasted with olive oil, salt and pepper for 10-15 mins on high

It’s freaking amazing and I never knew little trees could taste this good!

My niece uses a George foreman for brussel sprouts and broccoli. I've tried the sprouts ( u cut in half)and their nice, looking forward to tying the broccoli

Curried cauli is AMAZING!

That’s how I always cook it, cauliflower too.

Just wanted to say that, on the back of this thread, I roasted some broccoli this evening.

Absolutely gorgeous.

Thank you MNetters!

Curried cauli is AMAZING!

Fact.

We just had some tonight with Spice Tailor’s Keralan Coconut Curry.

Roast beetroot is yummy too

I do this. Also with cauliflower. Delicious!

yabu and we've been doing that along with suggestions since initial post because we like good food here

I'd never tried roasting it before but gave it a go tonight. I quite liked it but one DS raised an eyebrow and asked "Why are we eating incinerated broccoli? " and the other added "it tastes a bit like gravel" so maybe I didn't get it quite right. (It was only a bit brown, and I'd say crunchy rather than gravelly. Not that I've ever eaten gravel...)

Only a bit brown 😂

Sounds lush OP hey little trees description made me lol used to say this to kids along with Brussels sprouts were called baby cabbages 😋

Gave it a go, too fancy and a bit meh (if you actually like the flavour of broccoli). Not wrong, just different.

Ooo might try this instead of mashing it

My son made the most amazing broccoli last night - olive oil, crushed garlic, roasted in parchment for 30minutes at 180oC.

But I also like it steamed....!

I've not managed to read all of the posts but can anyone give me air fryer cauli steak tips? What do you accompany it with? Any sauce recommendations?

@DroopyClematis yes!

Well i had some roasted broccoli this evening as a side of Mac and cheese

Roasted it for about 20 mins with a bit of olive oil, salt, pepper and garlic paste

OMG was AMAZING

Thank you Mumsnet!!!!

I thought you hated it because it gets stuck in your DH teeth and it stinks. Please stop the broccoli madness
