Oh my goodness is this broccoli delicious! And it packs quite the spicy kick! This broccoli had my nose runny and my mouth burning, but it has such good flavor that I kept on eating more and more.
If you want to reduce the amount of heat this broccoli has you can reduce the amount of sriracha and red pepper flakes, that is where the majority of the heat comes from.
