can I roast broccolli ?

[brimfull]

dh thinks I'm mad,can I roast it with the peppers?

yes you can, I haven't done it myself but read something about this the other day. Apparently it goes rather like Chinese seaweed.

I think it will frazzle tbh, not a good idea.

Yes, yes, yes! Roasted brocolli is really delicious, I do it at least once a week.

oh great...just drizzle with olive oil like the peppers then?

what does it turn out like carmanere? does it go like Chinese seaweed, if so what the hell is that like?! i roast the usual, peppers, squash (all the time!) onions, carrotts, leeks,, corgettes , tomatoes etc etc. id love to roast broccolli if i knew it was a good bet. i like it but dont really like "plain boiled " veg

does it take the same time as peppers?

yes! there's a lovely delia recipe with cauliflower & brocolli roasted with garlic, cumin & corriander.

Yes, we do the Delia recipe and it's v. good. Never roasted broccoli by itself, though.

I tend to put the brocolli in after the peppers has been in a while.

well buggered them up ,they tasted shite

put them in with the peppers,they came out all chewy and dried up.

Yep done that too, I usually steam them in the microwave for best results. Depends how crunchy you like them, if you roast them long enough to soften the thick bits the ends get frazzled if they still look nice and green they are usually still pretty raw but I like them that way.

Roasted broccoli is delish!

No, steam, boil or stir-fry. Steaming is best.

roasting definately didn't work ,the curly ends were burnt,the stock end was chewy...yeuch!
