The main task in cooking a vegetable is to make sure that the loss of nutrients is minimal, and the finished product is not only tasty, but also easily digestible. Perhaps one of the simplest and most gentle methods for achieving this and, moreover, not increasing the calorie content of the dish, is baking in the oven.For flavoring, we will use cold-pressed olive oil and garlic - the benefits of ready-made broccoli with such accompaniment will only increase.

Cooking time: 20 min.

Cooking time: 10 min.

Servings - 4.

Ingredients:

Broccoli - 400 gr.

Extra virgin olive oil - 40 ml.

Garlic - 1 clove.

Salt to taste.

Ground black pepper - to taste.

Lemon juice - for serving.

Cooking process:

1. Immediately set the oven to preheat to 210 degrees, so that by the time of baking, the high temperature has already been reached. We wash the broccoli and divide into approximately the same inflorescences. To bake quickly and evenly, cut the inflorescences into small pieces.
2. By the way, it is better to cut the legs of the inflorescences separately and smaller. They have a different texture from the curvy top and take longer to cook. Therefore, we adjust the cooking time by the size of the cut.
3. Place the pieces of broccoli in a bowl and pour the specified amount of extra virgin olive oil. Peel the clove of garlic and pass it through a press. Add the resulting gruel to the broccoli. Sprinkle the cabbage with salt and black pepper and stir with your hands so that each piece is covered with a fragrant mixture.
4. Pour the prepared broccoli onto a dry baking sheet and place it on a medium-low level. We bake for twenty minutes. Open the oven a couple of times during the indicated cooking time and stir the broccoli with a spatula for even baking. If it is noticed that the cabbage begins to burn, the oven temperature should be reduced by ten to twenty degrees.
5. Take the finished broccoli out of the oven and transfer it to a serving plate. When serving, you can also sprinkle the cabbage with lemon juice to refresh its taste and add vitamins.

Oven-baked broccoli in batter

Broccoli in batter is very juicy. The combination of its tender pulp with a crispy crust from the dough is very pleasant and will please even those who are wary of cabbage. If you deep-fry it, then you need to be prepared for the high calorie content of the dish and for the splashes of oil in the kitchen. This stops someone from preparing such a snack. There is a great alternative - baking in the oven. So that the batter remains on the surface of the broccoli and does not "run away" to the bottom of the baking sheet, there are secrets and important points. All the details are in the recipe below.

Cooking time: 25 min.

Cooking time: 15 min.

Servings: 2.

Ingredients:

Broccoli - 200 gr.

Eggs - 1 pc.

Wheat flour - 1 tablespoon

Bread crumbs - 1 tsp

Dried garlic - to taste.

A mixture of ground peppers - to taste.

Vegetable oil - for frying.

Salt to taste.

Cooking process:

1. Before placing in batter and baking, broccoli must be boiled. If this is fresh cabbage, then we rinse it and disassemble it into separate small inflorescences. If we are talking about frozen inflorescences, then we immediately proceed to cooking without defrosting. Dip the cabbage in salted boiling water and cook for five minutes. after that, put the broccoli in a colander and let the liquid drain completely. This is important because excess moisture will make the batter thinner and the dish may turn out to be unattractive.
2. Break the egg into a bowl. Add salt, a mixture of ground peppers and dried garlic to taste. Shake everything together with a fork into a homogeneous mass.
3. Pour flour to the egg mixture and stir vigorously so that not a single lump remains. The consistency of the dough should resemble thick sour cream. If it seems that the mass is watery, then gradually add more flour.
4. Finally, add bread crumbs to the batter.
5. Mix the resulting dough thoroughly.
6. Choosing the right form for baking broccoli in batter is perhaps the most important point. If you take a wide baking sheet or too large a shape, then the batter will not hold on to the cabbage and most of it will drain to the bottom. Use a shape such that the broccoli can be stacked tightly in one layer.In this case, each piece will be covered with dough, and the batter will have nowhere to drain. Dip the boiled and already cooled inflorescences in the prepared batter and put them in the mold. Pour the remaining dough over the stacked cabbage and spread evenly with a spoon.
7. We put the broccoli form in an oven preheated to 190 degrees on a medium level and bake for fifteen to twenty minutes. We take out the finished cabbage from the oven and help to cut the borders of each piece with a knife. We spread the inflorescences on a plate and serve hot or warm.
