Simple Curry Roasted Broccoli (Indian Broccoli + Other Flavors)
Description
Simple Curry Roasted Broccoli features trimmed broccoli florets and cashews tossed with canola oil and roasted initially to develop a tender yet slightly crisp texture and toasted cashew flavor. The broccoli doesn't dry out during roasting, as it is not completely dried before baking.
A quick curry glaze, consisting of curry paste, sugar, salt, and water, is mixed and added to the vegetable-cashew mix after the first roast. Returning the broccoli to the oven allows the glaze to absorb into the florets over an additional 5 to 10 minutes. This layering of roasting and glazing adds depth and a slightly sticky coating carrying warm curry spice.
Variations of seasoning, including garlic powder, lemon zest, balsamic vinegar, or nutritional yeast, are suggested for adapting to different flavor profiles, complementing the roasted broccoli's earthy quality.
Ingredients
- 1 pound broccoli trimmed and separated into florets
- ½ cup cashew
- 1 Tablespoon canola oil
- 1 Tablespoon of water
- 1 teaspoon curry paste of choice
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- ½ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400F.
- Rinse the broccoli and shake off excess water, but don't dry too thoroughly. Toss the broccoli and cashews with oil, place on a baking sheet, and roast for 20 minutes, stirring once or twice.
- Meanwhile, in a small bowl or jar, stir together water, curry paste, sugar and salt. Remove broccoli from oven and toss with curry glaze.
- Return broccoli to oven for 5-10 minutes, until glaze is absorbed.
Notes
- Use garlic powder instead of fresh garlic when roasting in an air fryer to prevent burning.
- Add lemon zest for a fresher, citrus flavor before and after roasting for lemon garlic broccoli variation.
- Incorporate 1-2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar for a tangy balsamic roasted broccoli option.
- Sprinkle nutritional yeast and lemon juice post-roasting to create a vegan parmesan style topping.
