    Broccoli florets tossed with a chipotle butter mixture and roasted until lightly brown and tender. 

    Chipotle Butter Roasted Broccoli is the most flavorful broccoli recipe I know of. Savory and with just a little bit of heat from the chipotle chili powder. This was the first vegetable dish I made for my now husband and it remains a favorite in our house all these years later! 

    Ingredients

    • Broccoli – Use fresh broccoli crowns or florets. For even cooking, cut into same size pieces around 1” long.
    • Butter – Can use butter or olive oil.
    • Cumin
    • Chipotle Chili Powder – I buy this from the bulk section at HEB, you can also find it on Amazon. 
    • Salt
    • Sugar – just a pinch to help the browning process.

    Prep

    • Melt the butter and add in the spices. Don't worry which you see there is a pinch of sugar, this is just to help the browning process.
    • Toss the broccoli in the Chipotle-Butter mixture. Make sure every floret gets a little butter. You can do this process in two batches if needed.
    • Evenly place the broccoli on a foil or parchment lined baking sheet for easy clean-up!

    Cook

    • Bake for 10-15 minutes, stirring halfway through the cooking time. Be sure and stay close by, this batch only took 10 minutes in my oven. Overcooking broccoli results in undesirable flavors and texture. 
    • The broccoli should be lightly browned and tender.

    Serving

    Chipotle Butter Roasted Broccoli makes a delicious side dish. I regularly serve it with my Easy Oven-Baked Salmon and sweet potatoes. It also pairs well with steak and potato wedges. 

    This is the type of dish I like to serve to people who “don’t like vegetables”. Once you try a broccoli recipe so flavorful, I think it can help someone be open to trying more vegetables.
