Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 2 bags broccoli florets (around 6–8 cups)

Sauce and Seasonings

  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it is hot and ready for roasting the broccoli.
  2. Prep the Broccoli: Make sure all broccoli florets are small and uniform in size; cut larger florets in half if necessary. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
  3. Prepare the Sweet Chili Oil: In a small pot over medium heat, warm the olive oil. Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Remove from heat, then stir in the red pepper flakes and honey thoroughly to combine the flavors.
  4. Coat the Broccoli: Pour the honey chili oil mixture over the broccoli florets. Toss thoroughly to ensure each floret is evenly coated. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Spread the broccoli in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving space between the florets for even roasting.
  5. Initial Roast with Foil: Cover the baking tray with foil and bake for 18 minutes. This steaming phase helps cook the broccoli stems evenly without drying them out.
  6. Final Roasting: Remove the foil and return the broccoli to the oven. Roast uncovered for an additional 10 minutes or until the florets are crisped and slightly caramelized at the edges.
  7. Serve: Remove the broccoli from the oven and enjoy it hot as a flavorful side dish or snack.

Notes

  • Adjust red pepper flakes to taste for milder or spicier results.
  • Use fresh garlic for best flavor; garlic powder can be an alternative but with less intensity.
  • Ensure broccoli florets are spread out on the baking sheet for even roasting and crisping.
  • This recipe can be doubled or halved easily depending on serving size requirements.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven for best texture.
