Description
Caramelized, crispy roasted broccoli spiced with red pepper flakes and excessively drizzle with a lemony goat cheese sauce!
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds broccoli crowns, with stems still attached
- Olive oil, as needed
- 3/4 to 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
LEMON-GOAT CHEESE DRIZZLE:
- 4 ounces goat cheese, at room temperature
- Zest and juice of 1 lemon
- 1/4 to 1/3 cup heavy cream
- 2 to 3 garlic cloves
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- Flaky sea salt, for sprinkling
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450°. Cut the broccoli into thick slices, leaving the stem attached but cutting off any tough outer layers, if necessary. Toss the broccoli, including any small florets that may have detached from the slices, with enough olive oil to lightly coat, red pepper flakes, salt and pepper to taste. Place in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Roast for 15 to 20 minutes, until tender and slightly charred around the edges.
- While the broccoli roasts, mix together all of the ingredients for the sauce. Add enough cream to make a thick but drizzleable sauce. When the broccoli is removed from the oven, cool slightly and drizzle the sauce on top. Sprinkle flaky sea salt over the broccoli and serve.
