Can I use frozen broccoli?

Yes, you can use frozen broccoli for this recipe.

I prefer the fresh head of broccoli here but frozen definitely works.

Just make sure to thaw it first and try to remove some moisture by patting it with a kitchen towel.

This will just help the broccoli roast better.

Once they’re done, remove them from the oven. I like to let them get a little bit charred but take them out whenever they’re done to your liking.
