# Expert advice:

01 -
  • It turns humble broccoli into something you'll actually get excited about eating, with crispy edges and a smoky kick that feels indulgent.
  • The whole thing comes together in 30 minutes using one pan and ingredients you can grab on any grocery run.
  • It's endlessly flexible, working as a quick dinner, a packed lunch, or even a side dish that steals the show at potlucks.
02 -
  • Don't skip the high oven temperature, anything lower and you'll end up with soggy broccoli instead of those crispy, charred edges that make this dish sing.
  • Taste your harissa before you toss it with the broccoli, some brands are fiery and some are mild, so adjust the amount to match your heat tolerance.
03 -
  • Use the convection setting if your oven has one, it circulates the heat and gives you even crispier edges on the broccoli.
  • If your harissa paste is on the dry side, loosen it with a splash of olive oil or lemon juice before tossing with the vegetables for better coverage.
