Ingredients
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.
