Cooking Steps
Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 425 degrees.
Wash and dry produce. Cut broccoli florets into bite-size pieces. Thinly slice lemon into rounds.
Toss broccoli and lemon on a baking sheet with a drizzle of olive oil, half the Tuscan Heat Spice (save the rest for another use), salt, and pepper; lightly squeeze lemon rounds to release some of their juices.
Roast on top rack until broccoli is tender and lightly browned and lemon lightly charred, 15-20 minutes.

Review summary
Updated on Sep 2026- Flavor: The Tuscan Heat Spice adds a bold, savory kick, though some found it overpowering or not to their taste; using less spice or sticking to salt, pepper, and garlic powder works well too.
- Ease of prep: Just a few quick steps — toss, roast, and done — making it a fast and easy side dish.
- Suggestions: Slice the lemon very thin so it chars properly and becomes edible; one reviewer also recommended squeezing a fresh lemon wedge over the finished dish to brighten the flavor. If the broccoli turns out dry, a drizzle of extra olive oil before roasting helps.
- Leftovers: This side pairs nicely with salmon, chicken, or pasta dishes, and leftovers can be tossed into sauces or grain bowls 🍲.
Reviews from our home cooks
Very easy to prepare. Only a few quick steps. A great dish loaded with flavor. Will make this again!
We made this with the spinach lemon ravioli and baked some piccata salmon that did not come with the meal. But the broccoli and ravioli made it all come together. Deliciously delicious!
It wasn't really spicy, as the name suggested. Needs a bit more of something. (All the spice if the ingredients didn't add it?). But good!
We left off the Tuscan heat spice since we don't like it. These were good with just salt and pepper.
Didn't come with a recipe card. I had to look it up online. The roasted lemon was a pleasant addition.
Omg these were totally amazing and delicious. I would definitely love to get this again!
Added into the bacon, shrimp cream scampi sauce with the other broccoli.
I burned them. Having bigger pieces would have been better.
