# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The harissa transforms plain broccoli into something you actually crave, with crispy, caramelized edges that taste like they took way more effort.
  • Everything happens on one pan and comes together in half an hour, so theres barely any cleanup and you still feel like you cooked something real.
02 -
  • Dont crowd the broccoli on the pan or it will steam instead of roast, and youll miss out on those crispy, caramelized edges that make this dish worth making.
  • Taste your harissa before you use it because some brands are much spicier than others, and you can always add more but you cant take it back once its on.
03 -
  • Use your hands to toss the broccoli with the harissa and oil, it ensures every floret gets coated and you can feel when its just right.
  • Let the broccoli sit undisturbed for the first 10 minutes of roasting before flipping, so it has time to develop a deep caramelized crust on one side.
