Cheesy Firecracker Broccoli

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.

Cheesy Firecracker Broccoli

Ingredients:

• 2 large broccoli heads
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
• 1/2 tablespoon sriracha sauce
• 2 tablespoons lime juice, about 1 lime
• black pepper, to taste
• 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 1/4 cup shredded pepper jack cheese

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 400º F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
2. Chop the broccoli heads into florets and set aside.
3. In a large bowl whisk together the oil, chili sauce, sriracha and lime juice.
4. Add the broccoli floret to the bowl and gently stir to completely coat the broccoli in the sauce.
5. Transfer the broccoli to the baking sheet and season with black pepper and red pepper flakes. Sprinkle with the cheese.
6. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the broccoli is tender and starting to brown at the edges.

Enjoy!!!
