Roasted Broccoli just may be the best broccoli you’ve ever tasted. This Spicy Roasted Broccoli is tossed with some Sriracha sauce and is sure to be appealing to spicy food lovers. The high heat of the oven really concentrates the flavors leaving the broccoli browned around the edges with some crispy bits.
Fresh chopped broccoli is tossed with olive oil, a little mayonnaise, lemon juice, Sriracha sauce, and salt and pepper. I like to cut the florets into pretty small pieces. Using some mayonnaise adds flavor and gives almost a creamy coating to the broccoli.
This Spicy Roasted Broccoli is so good, it’s tempting to just eat it directly off the baking sheet. It’s a low carb, gluten free side dish you will want to eat again and again.
Tips For Roasting Broccoli
- Roast the stems as well as the florets. It helps to peel the outer layer of skin off the stems and then thinly slice them.
- Dry the broccoli off after washing it. It will crisp up better if it is dry.
- Spread the broccoli out well on a large baking sheet, making sure it is not crowded.
Serving Suggestions
For extra flavor, sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese right after removing from the oven.

What could I use instead of Sriracha as I don’t particularly like it – would Soy Sauce be any good do you think
Yes, I think soy sauce would work great!
Hey, this recipe sounds great, but my husband and daughter won’t eat mayo. Any suggestions on what I can use as a substitute?
I would just leave it out and increase the amount of olive oil some.
