What Is Chili Crunch?
Chili crunch is a condiment that’s typically made up of oil infused with dried red and chili peppers, crispy onion and garlic. Sometimes called “chili crisp”, “chili oil” or even “chili sauce”. It’s spicy and crunchy with some smokiness. It can be used with a wide variety of dishes. I love it with eggs, pasta, vegetables and on pizza. I’m still in the works of developing a homemade version, but in the meantime, I found mine (Chili Onion Crunch) at Trader Joes but Momofuko is another brand I would recommend.
Preheat your oven to 500°.
Lightly spray a metal, rimmed baking sheet with avocado oil. Add broccoli florets and lightly spray them as well. Season with a few pinches of kosher salt.
Meanwhile, in a medium mixing bowl, measure and add 2 parmesan cheese, 2 tablespoons chili crunch and the juice of 1/2 a lemon.
Stir well to combine.
Meanwhile, roast the broccoli on the middle rack of your preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes. Rotate the pan halfway through for even roasting. Watch carefully to avoid burning.
Once roasted, immediately add to bowl with the parmesan and chili crunch mixture.
Toss well to combine.
Serve immediately with an extra drizzle or two of chili crunch over top.
Because this roasted broccoli with lemon, chili-garlic oil and parmesan is one of my favorite ways to make broccoli, you should definitely try it. The flavor is out of this world. I had seconds, okay I had thirds but hey it’s broccoli and good for you!

My boyfriend was sad when I told him there wasn't seconds of the broccoli because ate it all up 🙂 You rock!
I wasn't allowed to say no to vegetables either, and now I love them! This broccoli sounds fantastic…it might be the way to get my vegetable-hating (25-year-old) boyfriend to eat his greens! Thanks 🙂
