Chili & Garlic Roasted Broccoli Recipe

Broccoli is one of those vegetables that really benefits from being roasted. Eating it raw can be fibrous and bitter, and steaming it risks turning it into mush.

When you roast broccoli, the florets turn a nice golden brown, and the vegetable becomes tender with a slight crunch. It’s the perfect in-between to its raw and possible mushy state.

With only 6 ingredients, this recipe is short and spicy. If you’re worried about the amount of heat, adjust the red pepper flakes to taste because, boy, can it sneak up on you! If the little ones in the family enjoy some spice, then this may be a way to get them to eat their broccoli.

As a member of the brassica family, broccoli is full of nutrients and a great vegetable to eat regularly. However, it’s high in FODMAPs, so that’s something to look out for if you are sensitive.

Pair this quick and easy side dish with Simple Steak with Mustard Sauce or Chicken with Creamy Sun-Dried Tomato Sauce.
