Lemongrass, Mint and Basil Roasted Broccoli

At KNeticx, we’re always on the lookout for new and exciting ways to incorporate local Kansas products into our offerings. Today, we’re thrilled to share a recipe that’s sure to tantalize your taste buds: Lemongrass, Mint and Basil Roasted Broccoli.

This vibrant and flavorful dish is the perfect way to elevate your everyday broccoli. By combining the fresh and zesty notes of lemongrass, the cool and refreshing flavors of mint, and the aromatic richness of basil, we’ve created a truly unique and delightful culinary experience.

To start, we source the finest locally-grown broccoli from our trusted suppliers. We then carefully trim the florets, ensuring they’re perfectly bite-sized and ready to soak up all the delicious flavors.

The key to this dish is the roasting process. We preheat our ovens to a toasty 425°F, then toss the broccoli florets in the flavorful marinade, making sure each piece is evenly coated. We then spread the broccoli out on a baking sheet, ensuring plenty of space for the florets to crisp up and caramelize.

As the broccoli roasts, the aromas of lemongrass fills the air, tantalizing your senses and leaving you eagerly anticipating the first bite. The high heat of the oven works its magic, transforming the broccoli into tender, slightly charred morsels that burst with flavor.

Once the broccoli is perfectly roasted, we like to finish it off with a sprinkle of sea salt and a drizzle of high-quality olive oil. This simple addition enhances the natural sweetness of the broccoli and helps to balance the bold flavors of the herbs and spices.

Serve this Lemongrass, Mint and Basil Roasted Broccoli as a side dish, or enjoy it as a satisfying and nutritious main course. It pairs beautifully with grilled meats, roasted fish, or even as a topping for your favorite grain bowls.

The Benefits of Broccoli

Broccoli is a true superfood, packed with an array of essential nutrients and health-promoting compounds. This cruciferous vegetable is an excellent source of vitamins C and K, as well as folate and fiber. Additionally, broccoli contains a compound called sulforaphane, which has been shown to have potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.

By incorporating broccoli into your diet, you can enjoy a host of benefits, including improved digestion, enhanced immune function, and even potential protection against certain types of cancer. And when you combine broccoli with the vibrant flavors of lemongrass, mint, and basil, you create a dish that’s not only delicious but also incredibly nourishing.

The Versatility of Roasted Broccoli

Roasting broccoli is a simple yet highly effective way to bring out its natural sweetness and create a delightful texture. The high heat of the oven caramelizes the sugars in the broccoli, resulting in a crispy, slightly charred exterior and a tender, flavorful interior.

But the beauty of roasted broccoli doesn’t stop there. It’s an incredibly versatile ingredient that can be used in a variety of dishes, from salads and grain bowls to pasta and even pizza. By seasoning the broccoli with different herbs, spices, and aromatics, you can create a wide range of flavor profiles to suit your taste preferences.
