- 1 large head broccoli, 4 or 5 cups, cut into bite-size florets
- Olive oil, to drizzle
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ⅛ teaspoon pepper
- 1 Tablespoon melted butter, omit for vegan option
- ¼ to ⅓ cup Frank's Buffalo Wing Style hot sauce or other hot wing sauce of choice
Other:
- 1 gallon or larger size plastic bag
Preheat oven to 450F degrees.
Place 4-5 cups bite sized broccoli florets into plastic bag. Drizzle olive oil to barely coat.
Add 2 teaspoons garlic powder, ¼ teaspoon salt and ⅛ teaspoon pepper. Close bag and toss ingredients around so all florets are coated.
Place broccoli on an ungreased rimmed baking sheet. Bake on middle rack for 5 minutes.
Remove florets from oven when they're still very crisp. You will place them back in the oven for additional roasting after sauce is added, so you don't want to overcook them here.
Melt 1 Tablespoon butter in a small bowl. Add ¼ to ⅓ cup hot sauce to butter. Add broccoli to a medium bowl and drizzle hot sauce mixture over florets, but don't over coat them.
Return to oven and cook for additional 3-5 minutes.
Serve with any dip you like, ranch dressing or Blue Cheese dip.
