Broccoli is easily one of my top five most favorite green vegetables, right up there with Kale, Collard Greens, Bok Choy and Gai Lan (Chinese Broccoli). I could eat some of them at least once every single day. I love them all!

Generally I go for a simple preparation – maybe roasted with salt, pepper and a touch of oil or just quickly steamed. When it comes to Broccoli, though, I am the only one in my house who likes it plain. My husband is definitely NOT a Broccoli Lover. I have a harder time getting him to eat it than I do our toddler. My toddler actually loves broccoli roasted with a bit of Earth Balance. Isn’t it supposed to be the opposite?

I threw this together last week and everyone loved it so much, I made it again to take photos and share with you guys. If you already love broccoli like me, you will LOVE this and if you have Broccoli haters lurking in your house, try this recipe and see if they come around.

My husband even asked for more!

NOTES:

  • Red Chili Oil – If you don’t have this ingredient, double up on either the canola oil or toasted sesame oil. If you want to buy some,  try your local Asian market or Natural Foods store – just make sure the ingredients are simple — oil and chilies (no preservatives,  colors or additives).
  • Hoisin Sauce is one of those ingredients you definitely want to purchase at a natural foods store, Whole Foods or online. Most Hoisin sauces have added MSG, preservatives, and artificial coloring. I use Panda Brand Hoisin Sauce, I buy it at Whole Foods.
  • You can use Sambal Oelek or Chili Garlic Sauce. I usually buy Panda Brand Chili Garlic Sauce so I can be sure it is free of MSG and other additives.
  • As for the Broccoli, evenly sized florets will work better but don’t make yourself nuts about it!

    My kids love roasted vegetables, and broccoli is one of them. Love this Asian twist you added to this dish.

    I’m a broccoli-lover too so of course this looks amazing to me…but my hubby is like yours and broccoli isn’t one of his favorites. I think he’d enjoy this though — especially with that chili-garlic sauce!

    I don’t think I’ve ever met a green veggie I don’t like (besides celery) but I ESPECIALLY love broccoli! This sounds like a great way to flavor it up!

    I’m totally with you on all points – cruciferous veg, roasting, spicing. Love it all. As you know I even like my cruccies for breakfast with sambal sauce. Next time I’ll roast them. Great, easy idea.

    That sounds vey delicious and so easy to put together. I would personally cut back on the spice, I love it but it does not love me..
