Simple Curry Roasted Broccoli (Indian Broccoli + Other Flavors)
Curry-spiced roasted broccoli florets are paired with roasted cashews in this simple oven recipe. A blend of curry paste, sugar, and salt is glazed over the partly roasted broccoli, enhancing its natural texture with warm spices and a touch of sweetness. The cashews add a crunchy contrast, making it a flavorful side.
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.
