Roasted Broccoli with Garlic and Chili Flakes

Roasted Broccoli with Garlic and Chili Flakes

Roasted broccoli with garlic and chili flakes is a grocery-store staple, not a specialty dish, and it's all the better for it. Nocellara del Belice N°11's pepper-driven finish plays well against the chili flakes here.

Ingredients

  • 1 large head broccoli, cut into florets
  • 3 tablespoons Nocellara del Belice N°11
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili flakes
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Lemon wedges, for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F.
  2. In a large bowl, toss the broccoli florets with Nocellara del Belice N°11, garlic, chili flakes, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
  3. Spread the florets in a single layer on a sheet pan, giving them space so they roast instead of steam.
  4. Roast 15 to 18 minutes, tossing once about halfway through, until the edges are crisp and browned in spots.
  5. Transfer to a serving plate and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
