Chef notes
Broccoli is part of the cruciferous vegetable family, a class of vegetables that are excellent for detoxification liver support, and have anti-estrogen effects, which can reduce the risk of fibroids, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), and some hormone-sensitive cancers.
The sauce makes this dish. Double it so you can use on other vegetables, grains and proteins.
Technique tips: Broiling the broccoli at the end of cooking helps to make them crispy and golden, but be careful not to burn them; I like to check every 60 to 90 seconds to make sure they don’t overcook.
This recipe works well in an air fryer as well! Reduce the heat to 370 F and cook for 4 to 5 minutes, toss in the sauce, and cook for an additional 4 to 5 minutes. Skip the broil at the end.
Swap option: You don’t have to use gluten free flour, but it works just as well as regular all-purpose flour. If you’re making this for kids, omit the red pepper flakes so it won’t be too spicy for them.
