Roast teriyaki broccoli FAQ:

What is the optimal baking time for roast teriyaki broccoli?

Roast teriyaki broccoli should be baked for 15-20 minutes in a preheated oven at 425°F (220°C). Stir halfway through to ensure even cooking.

How can I tell when the broccoli is done roasting?

The broccoli is done when it is tender and the edges are slightly crispy and caramelized. You can test for doneness by piercing it with a fork.

What size baking sheet should I use?

A standard half-sheet pan (approximately 13x18 inches) works well for roasting 4 cups of broccoli. Ensure the florets are arranged in a single layer for even cooking.

Can I use frozen broccoli instead of fresh?

Yes, you can use frozen broccoli, but it may require a longer roasting time and may not achieve the same texture as fresh broccoli. Thaw and drain it well before coating and roasting.

What can I substitute for teriyaki sauce?

If you don't have teriyaki sauce, you can substitute with a mixture of soy sauce, honey or maple syrup, and a splash of rice vinegar. Adjust to taste for sweetness.
