A delicious and rich alternative to bland steamed broccoli! It caramelizes perfectly, and the spices give it a great flavor that kids and parents will love.

Baked Broccoli

olive oil

brown sugar

lemon juice

cayenne pepper

garlic powder

oregano

thyme

salt

black pepper

broccoli florets

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).


In a bowl, mix together the olive oil, brown sugar, lemon juice, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, oregano, thyme, salt, and black pepper until thoroughly combined. Add the broccoli florets, and toss until evenly coated with the seasoning. Spread the broccoli florets out onto an baking sheet with a rim.


Bake in the preheated oven until the broccoli is just browned on the top, 10 to 15 minutes.


I tried this recipe as written. The spice combination was a bit strong. I expected it to have a sweet but spicie kick. The cayenne pepper over powered all the brown sugar and other spices. Might try it again with a little less cayenne pepper. I also think the blend was a too thin in consistancy to properly coat the broccoli for effective carmaization. Less lemon juice and olive oil might correct this problem.

Great simple recipe!  I followed the recipe pretty exactly, though I eyed the spices, no measuring. Tastes great! Super simple!  I'm vegan... next time I will throw in some chick peas and serve this over rice... perfect meal!

I followed another review and added chick peas over rice.  Also added roasted red peppers chopped and mixed in the broccoli.  I like the added spices, but think I would leave the oregano out next time.  I think the spices competed, but all in all turned out to be a great meal with a side spinach salad with pear and almond slivers.

I liked this.. I used 24 ounces of broccoli mixed all the dry ingredients sprinkled the broccoli with the lemon juice and 1T of oil ( which was plenty) and then sprinkled with the seasoning mix tossed and baked. I think I baked a bit longer because I like the browned edges of the broccoli.

This was really good and super easy to make. I followed the recipe exactly and the spices were a little strong for me. But my non-vegetable eating fiance asked for more. Next time it will try it with out the oregano and thyme.

My husband & I really liked this reciepe! We eat a lot of broccoli & this was a quick & easy change to raw broccoli. I followed the reciepe excatly except for the lemon because i didn't have any on hand! Thanks!

Loved this! Cut cayenne oregano & thyme to 1/4 teaspoon -- also did as other reviewer drizzled with olive oil & lemon first tossed then mixed all dry ingredients at measurement indicated sprinkled on top then cooked. It was fabulous!

Sweet but good. I mixed with roasted potatoes and chickpeas--the three complimented each other nicely.

This recipe was great although I made it without the oregano used chili pepper instead of cayenne and no lemon juice. Delicious!
