In this easy Hot Honey Broccoli recipe, broccoli florets are baked until crispy and then drizzled with chili, ginger, and garlic-infused honey. This is a quick recipe that is a healthy side dish for everyday meals and holiday gatherings.
Ingredients
- 2 cups Broccoli florets
- 1/2 inch chunk of ginger
- 3 cloves garlic
- 3 Tablespoons Honey
- 1-2 tablespoons Red Chili flakes depending on spice level you are comfortable with
- 3 tablespoons grapessed oil or olive oil
Instructions
- First off, preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Wash the broccoli and dry it well with kitchen towels.
- Next, cut the broccoli florets off the stalks. Simply cut the broccoli floret right where its stem meets the larger stalk. If the florets are too large, gently pull the floret apart with your fingers into equal pieces. Keeping the broccoli florets similar in size results in the most even cooking.
- Add the oil to the broccoli florets, and toss them well so they are well coated.
- Place the broccoli florets on a lined baking tray, making sure that the broccoli florets are spread out and not overlapping each other.
- Bake the florets for 13–15 minutes.
- While the broccoli florets are baking, peel the ginger and garlic cloves. After that, using a Microplane grater, grate the ginger and garlic. If you do not have a microplane grater, dice the garlic and ginger as finely as you can.
- After about 13–15 minutes, remove the oven-roasted broccoli florets from the oven and set aside.
- Add the honey, the grated ginger and garlic, and the red chili flakes to a small saucepan and place it over medium-high heat. Stir the ingredients in the saucepan. Once the honey starts to bubble (this should take a minute or two), remove the pan from the stove.
- Add the hot honey mixture to the roasted broccoli and toss well.
- Season with salt and pepper and serve warm.
Notes
Air Fryer Option
If you have an air fryer, you can air-fry the broccoli florets and have them ready for that honey mixture in a little less time.
Prepare the broccoli florets as outlined above.
But refrain from tossing the broccoli florets in the oil. Instead, place the broccoli florets in the base of an air fryer and spray with cooking spray. Again, make sure that the pieces are not touching.
Then, set the air fryer temperature to 425 degrees Fahrenheit and place the broccoli florets into the air fryer. Let these air fry for 7–8 minutes. Remove from the air fryer, toss with the hot honey mixture, season with salt and pepper, and enjoy!
