I’ve found when roasting veg in the oven, warming up the sheet pan with the olive oil for ten or so minutes before adding the veggies helps caramelize faster and makes for tastier sides.

Doc Mott

This is interchangeable with cauliflower

I made this once and forgot the lime. It was fine but nothing amazing. Then made it again and remembered the lime and it was like an entirely different dish. So good! Don’t forget the lime!!

J.D.

Cannellini beans sautéed in a little miso butter make an excellent addition to the broccoli.

V

Used ghee instead of butter as suggested, mainly for easier mixing with the miso. Cooked broccoli slightly longer but I prefer to roast veggies on the longer side. Otherwise I followed the recipe and it was the star of the meal, no parm needed.

Kentfield Barbara

I mixed the miso, butter and juice from lime together before hand and simply tossed it with broccoli.

Miso & broccoli. . . hmmm . . . Asian grain bowl! Made this today (without butter) to add with quinoa/barley, edamame, sh*takes, purple cabbage, kale, leftover roasted delicata with soy/ginger/sesame dressing. Delicious, highly adaptable recipe to keep.

Madeleine

Delicious! Skipped the salt because the miso itself is plenty salty. I use a bowl to toss the broccoli in olive oil & seasonings at the start, so I found it easier to put the roasted broccoli back in the bowl and mix with the miso/butter mixture for a more even coating.

Chantal

A nice addition to the miso butter is lemon or orange zest. It goes with most roasted veggies and particularly well with broccoli, as suggested here (with lemon), or with sweet potatoes (orange).

Claudia

How about for halved Brussels sprouts? We are always looking for new ways to roast them.

Janet

Re: adding miso butter after roasting broccoli. Yes that is how I read this recipe. Miso burns easily so it makes sense to add at the end of cooking.

May Lynn

Very tasty! Only had red miso which has a stronger flavor so I used 1 tsp.

Beachwriter

Oh, the heartbreak of too-chewy broccoli. Did I not use enough oil? Did I roast it too long? Not long enough? Did I offend the gods in some way? A sad end for a lovely crown of organic broccoli. The miso butter was nice, if a bit salty.

P Park

Absolutely delicious! I will never steam broccoli again. Who knew it could be this tasty?

EHSMD

One of the easiest, most delicious things I’ve ever made from this site. Omg. I had to stop myself from eating all of it before I even got it into the serving dish. If helpful, I heated the baking sheet in the oven during preheating, and then placed the florets cut side down onto the tray to get some browning.

JW

I think the olive oil is unnecessary, since the miso butter makes it plenty greasy.

SusieRCP

Delish! No worries if you don’t have butter nor ghee because olive oil is just fine and great for the non-dairy eaters. Miso is salty enough -skip the salt. 17 mins at 400•F is plenty if you want flavor and texture without charring.

Yael Reiner

Oh wow, this is the best broccoli my husband & I have ever had!

caroline

Roast 20 min

Carley

This was really great, super quick to whip up and on it's own makes for a great snack

I made this tonight for the second time, bereft as the broccoli was roasting to realize I was out of white miso. I subbed with red miso but cut quantity in half, and per advice I read online, added a dash of sugar. It was delicious - maybe better than the first time I made it as written. Who knew broccoli could be so good???

PG

Oven should be on "roast" at 425. Delish. So easy. Lime squirt definitely enhances.

sdepas

This is an upgrade from my usual squeeze of lemon and Parmesan. Added a can of beans for some protein. Didn't want to share with the fam. Agree that you don't want to skip the lime. Might try with cabbage next.

aehtorod

Delicious!!NYT Cooking works magic every single time. Thank you.

Eric

So delicious and easy. I've played around with replacing the lime juice with different types of vinegar (champagne and celery vinegar were my favorites) and they still came out amazing. After mixing in the butter/miso mixture and acid into the broccoli, I like leaving them in the oven for a couple of minutes so the glaze firms up a bit.

Marie

Miso butter is great on all roasted vegetables!

Aleta

So I made this tonight. I was making it to go along with a sriracha-soy-sesame over egg noodles dish. Everything was going great until I accidentally put the sriracha-soy-sesame sauce on the roasted broccoli. At a loss for only a moment, I stirred the miso-butter sauce intended for the broccoli over the egg noodles instead. The result was delicious! Moral of the story, do not multitask while cooking dinner but if you do, and make a mistake, roll with it and you may be pleasantly surprised.

Nancy K

God I love this. Made for the 2nd time last night and ate it -- the whole head of broccoli -- standing up. Okay so maybe that speaks to something else. But what I'm saying is this is good. Salty, buttery, broccoli roasted dark of winter good.

Lisa Alderson

Anyone done this with broccolini? I assume you would need to reduce the cooking time a bit

Michael

Could I use frozen broccoli for this recipe? Any suggestions for ensuring it does not come out soggy if so?

FAQs

How do you stop broccoli from burning when roasting? ›

The tender, fuzzy “tree” tips of roasted broccoli florets are the most delicious, but they are also quick to burn. Make sure the florets are well-coated with olive oil to keep this from happening. Don't Crowd the Pan. If the florets are too close, they will steam instead of roast.

Is it better to roast or steam broccoli? ›

In this regards, it is likely that broccoli cooked by steaming will be better fit for human consumption than other cooking methods. In conclusion, the current study clearly shows that nutrient and health-promoting compounds in broccoli are significantly affected by domestic cooking.

How is miso paste used? ›

You'll often find miso in savory recipes like soups, dressing and sauce—but it lends itself to sweet treats, too. Just take these brownies, for example. Instead of granulated salt, we use white miso, which amps up the chocolate and brings a sharper contrast to the sweetness.

Why does my roasted broccoli taste bitter? ›

Some broccoli varieties are more bitter than others and bolt quicker, choose heat tolerant varieties or quick maturing varieties. Even if the head is small, pick your broccoli when the florets are tight, close together and bright green.

How do you keep roasted vegetables crispy? ›

Add 1 tablespoon cornstarch per pound of vegetables. Toss the vegetables evenly to coat. Spread the veggies in a single layer on a large rimmed baking sheet. Roast until fork-tender and crispy, 20 to 45 minutes, depending on the vegetable.

What is the best cooking method for broccoli? ›

Steaming broccoli is quick and easy, and it's considered one of the healthiest ways to prepare the vegetable. Instead of submerging the florets and stem into boiling water or roasting them in the oven, the broccoli is placed in a steamer basket over simmering water and covered with a lid.

Is it OK to roast vegetables with olive oil? ›

The simplest way to season roasted vegetables is with olive oil, salt, and pepper.

Is roasted broccoli still healthy? ›

Roasted broccoli is a healthy side dish with major crowd appeal. Broccoli contains a lot of good-for-you fiber, vitamin C, and a surprising amount of protein, too. Who knew? If you've been in a rut with side dishes lately, or you're tired of steamed broccoli, you're going to love this simple side.

Why add milk to water when cooking broccoli? ›

In the middle of the cooking water may be added to the milk to aid in preventing leaching of calcium from bones by the microelements contained in broccoli.

Can I just add miso paste to water? ›

Can I just add miso paste to water? Yep, you can keep it simple and just add miso to water.

What flavors pair well with miso? ›

As a rule of thumb, pairing miso with earthy, woodsy flavors — think winter squashes like pumpkin, kabocha, and butternut; toasty, nutty flavors like brown butter, sesame, chocolate, and caramel; or hearty fruits like apples and bananas — adds its deep, dynamic flavor without being overpoweringly funky or salty.

What is the secret ingredient in miso paste? ›

Classified as a fungus, Koji takes the starch in rice and other grains and breaks it down into sugars that can then be utilized by other microbes. It's an essential ingredient in miso.

How do you keep roasted vegetables from burning? ›

The sweet spot is between 400°F and 425°F. Go any higher, and the outside of your veggies will start to burn before the inside has a chance to cook through. Any lower? They'll still cook through (eventually), but the oven won't be hot enough to get your veggies golden, crispy, and caramelized.

How do you not burn vegetables in the oven? ›

Swich tip: the smaller the vegetable pieces, the higher the oven temperature needs to be. This may sound counter-intuitive. But here's why: smaller vegetables take less time to cook throughout. On the other hand, harder and bigger vegetables are better cooked at 350-400 to prevent the vegetables from burning.

Why do my vegetables burn in the oven? ›

The oven may not be working correctly and is going to a higher temperature. Get an oven thermometer and check that the temperature inside the oven is the same as what you set it to be. You should also make sure that you're watching the time!

Why does my broccoli always burn? ›

To help prevent over-browning or burning, make sure your broccoli is cut into roughly the same size pieces. You'll also want to make sure the florets are on the small side so they cook all the way through before the edges of the broccoli brown too much.
