Instructions
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
Place lemon juice, olive oil, chili paste, garlic, and salt in a large bowl and add the broccoli spears.
Toss to coat the broccoli evenly then transfer to a large nonstick baking sheet.
Roast the broccoli until the stalks are tender, 17 to 20 minutes.
Sprinkle slices of red chili peppers on top for garnish.
Notes
There is a fair amount of spicy heat from the Asian chili paste. If you want less "bite" then reduce the chili paste to 1 to 2 tablespoons of chili paste.
