Roasted broccoli can get bitter if you overcook it. Try tossing it in olive oil and seasoning lightly before roasting at a high heat for a short time.

Ah, roasted broccoli can be a bit finicky sometimes! If it's tasting bitter, it could be due to a few factors. First off, make sure you're not overcooking it – broccoli tends to get bitter when it's cooked for too long. Also, check the freshness of your broccoli – older broccoli tends to have a more bitter flavor. And finally, try adding a bit of sweetness, like a drizzle of honey or a sprinkle of brown sugar, to balance out the bitterness. With a little tweak here and there, you'll have perfectly roasted broccoli in no time!

Roasted broccoli can turn bitter due to overcooking or high heat. Try lowering the oven temperature and reducing the cooking time to prevent this. Additionally, ensure the broccoli is fresh and not past its prime, as older broccoli tends to develop a bitter taste.

Overcooking can make broccoli bitter, turning those lovely green florets into a sad, charred mess. Try roasting at a high temp just until they're crispy-tender for the best flavor!
