A simple and delicious roasted broccoli recipe featuring tender florets coated in a flavorful garlic, honey, and red pepper flake olive oil mixture. Perfectly steamed under foil and then crisp roasted for a balance of softness and crunch.

Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 bags broccoli florets (around 6–8 cups)
  • 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 Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to get it ready for roasting the broccoli.
  2. Prepare Broccoli: Ensure all broccoli florets are small and manageable in size, cutting larger florets in half if necessary. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
  3. Make Flavored Oil: In a small pot over medium heat, warm the olive oil. Add the minced garlic and cook for one minute until fragrant. Turn off the heat, then stir in red pepper flakes and honey, mixing well to combine all flavors.
  4. Coat Broccoli: Pour the garlic-honey oil mixture over the broccoli florets. Toss thoroughly so each piece is evenly coated. Season generously with salt and pepper. Arrange the broccoli spaced out on a parchment-lined large sheet tray.
  5. Steam with Foil: Cover the tray tightly with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 18 minutes. This step steams the broccoli, making the stems tender.
  6. Roast Uncovered: Remove the foil and continue roasting for another 10 minutes uncovered. This allows the broccoli to crisp up and develop golden edges.
  7. Serve: Once roasted to desired crispness, remove from oven and serve hot as a flavorful, healthy side dish.

Notes

  • Cut broccoli into uniform sizes to ensure even cooking.
  • Adjust red pepper flakes based on your preferred spice level.
  • Covering with foil during the first bake step helps steam the broccoli for tenderness.
  • Roasting uncovered crisps the edges for better texture.
  • Honey adds a subtle sweetness that complements the garlic and spice.
  • Use fresh garlic for the best flavor impact.
  • This recipe can be doubled easily for larger servings.
