- Overcooking broccoli. If you're a broccoli hater, it's possible you just don't like the taste of this vegetable. But we'd bet that many of you have sworn off broccoli after only encountering wet, mushy, limp specimens with a dull color and an uninspiring taste.
- Picking old broccoli. If you want to minimize a bad broccoli outcome right out of the gate, make sure to choose fresh broccoli for your recipes. This vegetable is easily found in most American supermarkets all year, but when buying local, it's best to purchase it when it's in season to avoid produce that's been stored or transported far.
- Ignoring unique recipes. Broccoli gets a bad rap. While its potential to impress is high, it's often downright hated because of the way it's cooked. Don't let mushy, gray, and bland broccoli scare you away for good.
- Not roasting broccoli. Not roasting broccoli is a mistake. Why? One word: caramelization.

Prepping broccoli for roasting is easy. You just need to start with clean, dry(-ish), broccoli florets cut into bite-size pieces. Why start with dry broccoli?

1. Start with clean, dry broccoli cut into small florets. 2. On the baking tray, combine broccoli and oil and use your hands to toss the broccoli so all sides are coated.

Can I prep broccoli in advance for roasting?
Absolutely. Prepping a big batch of broccoli in advance is a great way to make sure that you have an easy vegetable side available at all times. Wash and cut your broccoli and then dry completely. Store broccoli in a loosely covered (not air-tight) container or half-closed bag with a folded dry paper towel to help absorb moisture. Properly prepped broccoli will keep for 3 to 4 days, up to a week if you’re lucky. When you’re ready to serve the broccoli, all you have to do is transfer it to a b...
Does roasted broccoli make good leftovers?
Yes and no. Roasted broccoli is best right out of the oven when it’s still hot and crispy. Once cooled and reheated, it still maintains all that delicious roasted broccoli flavor, but it becomes quite soft and no longer has all those little crispy bits. I’ll happily eat leftover reheated roasted broccoli, but I’d rather just prep a big batch of precut, prewashed broccoli at the beginning of the week and roast it fresh every meal.
Can I roast frozen broccoli?
Yes. I find that frozen broccoli doesn’t come out crispy the way fresh broccoli does, but it still roasts up beautiful and delicious. Follow the recipe as written when cooking frozen broccoli. No changes are needed.
