Tips on How to Make Roasted Broccoli Steaks

• Slicing the broccoli: For each broccoli head, you might get about 2-3 “steak” slices. You’ll definitely be getting some loose florets but those will roast deliciously.
• Add your favorite seasonings and spices. Steak seasonings are fantastic on the broccoli and if you like spicy foods, add some sriracha, our chili crisp recipe, or chili garlic crunch.
• For a more “tender or soft” broccoli, you can par boil the broccoli steaks. Just boil them for about 1 minute. Then drain and remove all excess water. From there you can season them according to the recipe directions and roast.

Try to have as much attached broccoli stem included as possible when slicing. The stem holds the florets into “steaks” or one large slice. You’ll definitely have some random small broken pieces, but they’ll still be delicious when roasted. To make the broccoli more tender, blanch them for a bit before roasting. For an al-dente like tenderness, don’t blanch at all or blanch just for a minute.

• 2 Tablespoons (30 ml) Worcestershire sauce
• 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 ml) salt , or to taste

Instructions 

• Pre-heat oven at 400°F/205°C.

• *Optional – see head note: In large pot of boiling water, blanch the broccoli steaks for about 1 minute (or up to 2-3 minutes if you want the broccoli very soft).
  
• Drain the broccoli and rinse with cold water to keep the broccoli from cooking further. Blot broccoli with paper towels to remove excess moisture.

• Lay broccoli steaks on a baking sheet pan. Brush the marinade on both sides of the broccoli steaks.

Can you freeze this broccoli?

Yes! You certainly can and it’s great for meal prep. Just allow the roasted broccoli to cool completely before freezing. Use air tight containers or bags for best storage. It can be frozen for up to 2 months, but don’t wait too long before eating. If it’s frozen for too long it can get mushy.
