This Sweet Chili Roasted Broccoli recipe offers a perfect blend of spicy, sweet, and savory flavors, transforming simple broccoli florets into a deliciously crispy and tender side dish. Coated with a garlic-infused olive oil and honey glaze enhanced by red pepper flakes, this easy oven-baked recipe makes for a healthy and flavorful addition to any meal.

Ingredients

Scale

Broccoli

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

Sweet Chili Glaze

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

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) to get it ready for roasting the broccoli.
  2. Prepare the Broccoli: Ensure broccoli florets are small and uniform. Cut larger florets in half if necessary. Place them in a large mixing bowl for easy coating.
  3. Make the Garlic Honey Mixture: Warm 1/2 cup olive oil in a small pot over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook for about one minute until fragrant. Remove from heat, then stir in red pepper flakes and honey to create a balanced sweet and spicy glaze.
  4. Coat Broccoli: Pour the warm garlic honey mixture over the broccoli florets. Toss thoroughly to coat each piece evenly. Season generously with salt and pepper. Spread the florets out on a parchment-lined baking sheet with some space between each to ensure even cooking.
  5. Steam Roast the Broccoli: Cover the tray with foil and bake for 18 minutes. The foil traps steam to help cook the broccoli stems through without drying out the florets.
  6. Crisp the Broccoli: Remove the foil and continue roasting for an additional 10 minutes. This step crisps up the edges for a delicious texture contrast.
  7. Serve and Enjoy: Once nicely browned and crisp, remove from the oven and serve immediately as a vibrant, flavorful side dish.

Notes

  • You can adjust the amount of red pepper flakes for more or less spice according to your preference.
  • For a vegan version, replace honey with maple syrup or agave nectar.
  • Make sure the broccoli florets are spaced out on the baking sheet to ensure even roasting and crispness.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven for best texture.
