# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • It transforms humble broccoli into something you'll crave, with crispy edges and a smoky, spicy kick that feels restaurant-worthy.
  • Everything cooks on one pan, and the flatbreads warm in the same oven, so cleanup is almost nonexistent.
  • You can adjust the heat to your liking and add toppings like yogurt or feta to make it your own every single time.
02 -
  • Don't crowd the baking sheet or the broccoli will steam instead of roast, and you'll miss out on those crispy, caramelized edges.
  • Taste your harissa before using it, some brands are mild and some are fiery, so adjust the amount based on your heat tolerance.
03 -
  • Use a large baking sheet or two smaller ones to give the broccoli plenty of space, which is key to getting those crispy, charred edges.
  • Squeeze the lemon wedges over the broccoli right before serving so the brightness hits at the perfect moment and doesn't get lost in the oven.
