Tips:

  • Roast the almonds to enhance their flavor: Toasting the almonds in a hot oven brings out their natural oils and makes them more fragrant.
  • Use high-quality olive oil: Extra virgin olive oil is the best choice for this recipe, as it has a rich, fruity flavor that complements the broccoli and almonds.
  • Season the broccoli well: Salt, pepper, and garlic powder are all essential seasonings for roasted broccoli. You can also add other spices, such as paprika, chili powder, or cumin, to taste.
  • Roast the broccoli until it is tender but still has a slight crunch: Overcooked broccoli will be mushy and bland. Aim for broccoli that is tender but still has a bit of resistance when you bite into it.
  • Serve the broccoli immediately: Roasted broccoli is best served hot out of the oven. You can also store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

This recipe for roasted broccoli with smoked almonds is a simple but delicious side dish that is perfect for any occasion. The broccoli is roasted to perfection, and the smoked almonds add a touch of smoky flavor and crunch. This dish is sure to be a hit with everyone at your table.
