# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It transforms humble broccoli into something you'll crave on repeat, with charred edges and a spicy kick that wakes up your taste buds.
  • Everything happens on one pan and comes together in half an hour, perfect for nights when cooking feels like too much effort.
  • The combination of warm flatbread, tangy yogurt, and roasted vegetables feels like a hug you can eat.
02 -
  • Crowding the pan will steam the broccoli instead of roasting it, so spread the florets out and use two sheets if necessary.
  • Taste your harissa before using it because brands vary wildly in heat, and you can always add more but never take it away.
03 -
  • Let the broccoli sit undisturbed for the first 10 minutes of roasting so the bottoms develop a deep char before you flip them.
  • Warm your serving platter in the oven for a minute so the flatbreads stay soft and the broccoli doesn't cool too quickly.
