Roasted Broccoli Stems
Description
Roasted Broccoli Stems focus on utilizing peeled and thinly sliced stalks coated with olive oil, kosher salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. The high-heat roasting at 450°F allows the broccoli rounds to caramelize and become tender without losing firmness.
The recipe involves roasting the slices on a parchment or foil-lined rimmed sheet, flipping after about 10 minutes to brown both sides. This technique creates a pleasant contrast between crisp edges and a softer interior.
Separating stems from florets for roasting is recommended since the florets cook faster. Leftover roasted stems store well refrigerated for several days and can be gently reheated or enjoyed cold. This enables versatile use as a side dish or supplement in various meals.
Ingredients
- ½ pound broccoli stems peeled and thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil extra-virgin
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt or ¼ teaspoon of any other salt, including Morton kosher salt, Diamond Crystal brand
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 450°F. Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with high-heat-resistant parchment paper or nonstick foil.
- Cut the broccoli stalk off and peel its rough outer layer with a vegetable peeler.
- Slice the stalk into ¼-inch thick rounds.
- In a bowl, toss the rounds with olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
- Spread the rounds on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
- Roast until golden brown, about 10 minutes per side. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Roast broccoli stems and florets separately; florets need 10-15 minutes, stems about 20 minutes at 450°F.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
- Reheat leftovers in a microwave at 50% power or in a 350°F oven, or enjoy cold from the fridge.
