Smashed Harissa Broccoli
Roasted broccoli is given a spicy twist in this amazing recipe. Like nothing you have tried before, crispy smashed broccoli is the best way I’ve found to roast broccoli florets to perfection. The harissa glaze gives amazing flavor and you can control the heat to decide if you’d like this more mild or more fiery.
