Directions

Step 1

Start by rinsing the broccoli florets under cold water and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towel.

Step 2

Peel and finely chop the garlic cloves.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, chopped garlic, red pepper flakes, sriracha sauce, soy sauce, honey, and lime juice. Mix well to form a spicy marinade.
