Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Peel the shallots, trim the ends, and cut them into halves or quarters, depending on their size.
Clean the cremini mushrooms with a damp paper towel and slice them into thick pieces.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shallots and mushrooms. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, add 1/4 teaspoon of salt and black pepper, and toss to coat evenly.
Spread the shallots and mushrooms on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Roast in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, stirring halfway through.
While the shallots and mushrooms are roasting, steam the broccoli. Bring a pot of water to a boil and place a steamer basket over it. Add the broccoli florets and steam for 5-7 minutes or until tender but still bright green. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, minced garlic, balsamic vinegar, and optional chili flakes.
Once the shallots and mushrooms are done roasting, add the steamed broccoli to the baking sheet. Pour the garlic-balsamic mixture over the vegetables and toss well to combine.
Return the baking sheet to the oven for an additional 5 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
Remove from the oven, transfer the mixture to a serving dish, and taste for seasoning. Add more salt or pepper if needed.
Serve warm as a flavorful side dish or a light vegetarian entree.
