Teriyaki broccoli is my favorite recipe to make as it combines the best bottled teriyaki sauce with a sweet roasted broccoli. I am not kidding when I tell you my teriyaki broccoli is the best and easiest way to eat broccoli. Not many ingredients are required and little cooking is actually done. I actually grew up eating something very similar to this, almost every night. My mom would serve us this broccoli no matter what we were eating.
Making takeout food is one of my absolute favorite things to make! I have made tons of takeout recipes from sweet and sour chicken, to orange chicken, to General Tso chicken and much more. But, one thing I have not hit was that classic teriyaki broccoli.
I honestly cannot believe I have not shared this recipe. Mostly because it is so simple, I never thought it needed a recipe. However, it was time to bring it on here as it is one of my favorite ways to eat broccoli.
My mom would serve us this broccoli, almost every night, no matter what we were eating. Burgers? Teriyaki broccoli. Spaghetti and meatballs? Teriyaki broccoli.
What You Need for Teriyaki Broccoli
Teriyaki broccoli combines a salty, yet sweet, sauce on top of perfectly roasted broccoli heads.
- Broccoli
- Teriyaki sauce
- Honey
I always have teriyaki sauce in a jar on hand. I use a gluten free stir fry marinade and sauce from San J. It is also low sodium; however, you can use a different version. They have tons of sauces that I LOVE. I usually get the teriyaki at Publix; however, you can grab their whole line on Amazon, or use this as a reference photo.
As mentioned, this recipe uses teriyaki sauce; however, you can substitute for just soy sauce or use a combination.
I also use honey to make the sticky sauce. However, you can do a brown sugar as well. I also love this love calorie agave substitute that is great to use instead of honey in so many recipes!
For the seasonings, I do not use any. My mom did not and I do not. The teriyaki sauce and honey have plenty of flavor for the broccoli. However, you can use many seasonings including garlic powder and ground ginger. However, if you want something spicy, try adding some crushed red pepper.
How to Make Teriyaki Broccoli
This recipe is done in under 30 minutes which is why it is one of my favorite recipes to make.
To start, preheat your oven to 425 degrees. Then, cut up the broccoli heads into bite-sized pieces; however, I also like to use pre-cut broccoli heads. Place those in a bowl with the teriyaki sauce and honey, stirring to coat.
Line a baking tray with aluminum foil, this dish can get messy. Then, spray the foil with cooking spray. Add the broccoli to the pan, shaking off any excess sauce. Bake in the oven for about 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway.
Once done, place back in the bowl of sauce and toss to absorb any extra flavor.
I serve this broccoli with my sticky chicken and instant pot rice! I cannot have takeout chicken without broccoli and rice.
