Doneness
Edges of the florets are charred and crisp; stems are tender when pierced with a fork but still hold their shape.
Oil & seasoning
Toss with 1 tbsp olive oil before adding — broccoli scorches without oil.
Season with: salt, garlic powder, red pepper flakes, lemon juice (after cooking).
Watch out for
- Broccoli needs oil — dry florets char to dust on the outside before the stems cook. A light toss with 1 tbsp olive oil is non-negotiable.
- Cut florets to even 1-inch pieces. Large florets undercook in the centre while small ones burn.
