  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

1 large crown of broccoli (about 3 Β½ to 4 cups), cut into florets with peeled and sliced stems

Β½ tablespoon olive oil or vegetable oil

ΒΌ teaspoon MSG seasoning, or salt and pepper to taste

1 stick unsalted butter, softened to room temperature for Gochujang Butter

1 to 1 Β½ tablespoons gochujang (Korean red pepper paste) for Gochujang Butter

2 cloves garlic, grated or finely minced for Gochujang Butter

1 Β½ teaspoons toasted sesame oil for Gochujang Butter

1 teaspoon white or brown sugar for Gochujang Butter

Instructions

1-First, prepare the gochujang butter by mixing the softened butter with the gochujang paste, garlic, sesame oil, and sugar in a bowl for even blending.

2-Next, wash and chop the broccoli into florets, including the peeled stems sliced about a quarter inch thick, to reduce food waste and maximize nutrition.

3-Then, toss the broccoli with the oil and seasoning like MSG or salt and pepper for a simple flavor base.

4-For the oven method, preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and spread the broccoli on a parchment-lined baking sheet; roast for 16 to 18 minutes until tender and browned in spots.

5-If using an air fryer, preheat to 375 degrees F, place the broccoli in a single layer, and air fry for 8 minutes, shaking halfway through for even cooking.

6-After cooking, transfer the broccoli to a large bowl, add the gochujang butter, and toss while the butter melts to coat evenly, creating that signature roasted broccoli with gochujang butter recipe taste.

7-Finally, serve hot alongside main dishes to enjoy its full flavor profile.
