I’ve been trying to get more veggies, for a multitude of reasons, but no matter how I cook broccoli, it stinks up the whole house. Steamed, baked, pan fried. If it were just me I’d probably deal with it, but my partner has a sensitive nose. Any ideas? I don’t love it raw, but it’s still pretty good.
Honestly I’ve never had broccoli do that on me.
Preheat to 425. Just do bite-sized florets on a baking sheet, drizzle (or spray) with a bit of oil (I use avocado), and dust with salt + pepper + whatever else you want. Roast them for 12 mins; add a bit of time if you want more of a char, and/or less crispness. There’s a sweet spot of balance you’re looking for. Remove; optionally spritz with lemon.
Under no circumstances should you boil or steam broccoli (or any vegetable, unless it’s a blanche/par-boil). That’s disgusting. We want to experience the texture and flavor of the vegetable. We are not feeding an infant incapable of consuming solid food.
My grandmother may or may not have murdered more than her fair share of vegetables when I was a wee lad.
Edit: derp, of course: I assume your partner is a super-sensory person? I’ve got a good friend whose husband is a super-taster. It honestly sounds like a pain - like you’re so hypersensitive to that sense that almost everything is just an overload :(
