Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons Asian chili paste such as Sambal Oelek
  • 3 to 4 cloves of garlic minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3 to 4 broccoli crowns sliced into long spears
  • 2 long red chili peppers thinly sliced for garnish

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.
