Broccoli florets are tossed in a sweet, spicy & smoky chipotle honey butter before roasting. It’s as delicious as it sounds!

Roasted Broccoli with Chipotle Honey Butter

broccoli crowns (be sure they are dry)

unsalted butter, melted

cloves garlic, minced

chipotle peppers , minced (use only 1 if you don't want the dish to be too spicy)

honey

salt

fresh lime juice, from 1 lime

oven

Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy clean-up.

Cut the broccoli into 2-inch florets, leaving one to two inches of stems attached. Discard the remaining thick stalks. 

In a large bowl, combine the melted butter, garlic, chipotle chili peppers, honey and salt and mix well. Add the broccoli and toss to coat evenly. Transfer the broccoli to the prepared baking sheet.

Roast for about 12 minutes, until the broccoli is crisp-tender and lightly browned in spots. Sprinkle lime juice over top (go easy; a little goes a long way). Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. 

Transfer the broccoli to a serving dish. Use a rubber spatula to scrape the bits of garlic and chipotle chili peppers off the foil and onto the broccoli. Serve hot.
