Sweet Chili Roasted Broccoli is a deliciously easy side dish that combines tender, caramelized broccoli florets with a flavorful blend of sweet chili sauce, garlic, and sesame oil.

Ingredients

Scale

Broccoli Mixture

  • 1 large head of broccoli, cut into florets
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Garnish (Optional)

  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
  • Fresh cilantro or green onions

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). This high temperature allows the broccoli to caramelize and develop crispy edges.
  2. Prepare the Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to ensure easy cleanup and prevent sticking.
  3. Mix the Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the broccoli florets with olive oil, sweet chili sauce, minced garlic, and sesame oil. Toss well until each floret is evenly coated with the mixture.
  4. Season: Sprinkle salt and pepper evenly over the coated broccoli to enhance the flavors.
  5. Spread on the Baking Sheet: Arrange the broccoli florets in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they have space to roast evenly.
  6. Roast: Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast for 15-20 minutes until the broccoli becomes tender and the edges start to crisp.
  7. Toss Once: Halfway through roasting, about 7-10 minutes in, open the oven and gently toss the broccoli to ensure even cooking on all sides.
  8. Garnish: After roasting, remove the broccoli from the oven and allow it to cool slightly. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and garnish with fresh cilantro or green onions if desired.
  9. Serve Warm: Serve the Sweet Chili Roasted Broccoli warm as a flavorful side dish or a light main course.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, make sure the broccoli florets are spread out without overcrowding on the baking sheet.
  • Adjust the amount of sweet chili sauce to your preferred level of sweetness and heat.
  • Using fresh garlic ensures a robust flavor, but garlic powder can be substituted if needed.
  • Garnishes such as toasted sesame seeds and fresh herbs add texture and freshness but can be omitted if unavailable.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven to maintain crispness.
