Point proven

My parents used to make me eat broccoli sometimes when I was a kid. One time the taste was so bad I vomited violently through my mouth and nose. They stopped making me eat broccoli after that.

Try it as a grown up. You may have ruined your taste buds with junk food though

>>17829503
Correct, this is /ck/

I used to despise broccoli until I tried roasting and browning it in the oven. It's delicious that way

broccoli is a brassica, tough plants that can withstand and actually benefit from a serious fucking blast of heat. i should've said don't cut the florets too small because faganon who clearly loves mushy steamed beta broccoli is right, if you cut tiny little florets they will burn, but beefy alpha florets will get that sweet maillard and be fucking awesome. holds super well too, i usually make a big batch on sunday or monday and have it for most of the week.

I bet she made you eat bad broccoli. My mom did sometimes. Shit sucks.
Try eating it again, preferably self made and fresh.
Pro-tip when you smell fresh broccoli it shouldnt smell like brassica (farts) at all

>>17830218
I bet if you didn't use foil you'd start an oil fire. Isn't olive oil's smoke point like 405°?

To your point, and recipe, that technique is valid and can confirm roast broccoli beats the shit out of steamed

ya definitely do not oil the pan before it goes into the oven, have made that mistake and it will smoke out your kitchen quickly. there's a bit of smoke when the oiled broccoli hits the ripping hot foil on the pan but not a significant amount in my experience.

and yes fully agreed, roasted broccoli with some interesting high quality spices hit with some lemon juice or vinegar or other acid right out of the oven is one of the most delicious truly healthy foods

Aye, I'm doing this style broc with some pan seared salmon later this week. It's time I started eating healthier. Good tips.

>>17830199
what?

>>17830218
That sounds delicious. Will definitely give this a try

why do i have to fart under a blanket to make this

>>17828165
i guess a lot of people steam/boil it, which is kinda bad

its best in thai curry
