    Frequently Asked Questions

    What’s the difference between baking and roasting?

    Baking and roasting can be confusing, especially if you are new to being in the kitchen. Essentially, they are somewhat the same; however, just a tad different.

    Roasting refers to cooking something, usually in an open dish, at a temperature higher than 400 degrees F.

    Can you roast broccoli stems?

    Yes.

    It’s best to use two separate trays since they cook through at varying times. Roasted broccoli stems are great in casserole dishes.

    Can I make oven roasted broccoli Top 8 Allergen Free?

    There are no Top Allergens when you make oven roasted broccoli.

    How long is oven roasted broccoli good for?

    Once your broccoli is roasted, you can let cool and then choose an option:

    • store in the fridge for 3-4 days in an air tight container
    • store in the freezer for up to 3 months

    Can oven roasted broccoli be frozen?

    Yes. You can freeze roasted broccoli. You can freeze in an air tight freezer bag or container. We typically like to freeze in freezer safe bags in 2 cup portions.

    Use within 3 months.

    Can I make roasted broccoli without oil?

    Yes. We’d recommend spraying with water first and roasting as directed below. Alternatively, you can throw it in an air fryer instead of the oven. It will cook quicker, so we recommend watching it carefully.

    Can I make more than one head of broccoli at a time?

    Yes! You can repeat the process for however many heads of broccoli you can easily get on a baking sheet at a time.

    Zero waste tips:

    While we are only using the florets in the recipe below, we highly recommend that you don’t discard the stems.

    You can use the stems in stocks, stir fry recipes or even casseroles. You can even roast the stems themselves. We’d just recommend that you do it separately from the florets.

    What other oven roasted vegetables can I make?

    There are so many other vegetables that you can roast like:

    • squash
    • cauliflower
    • peppers
    • and more!
