Roasted Broccoli with Soy Sauce & Sesame Seeds
INGREDIENTS:
- 1 lb. fresh broccoli florets (see trimming instructions)
- 1 1/2 T olive oil
- 1 T soy sauce, gluten-free if needed
- 1 tsp. sesame oil
- 1 T sesame seeds, toasted
DIRECTIONS:
- Preheat oven to 450F/220C.
- Spray a large baking sheet with non-stick spray. (Use the biggest one you have.)
- Cut broccoli into pieces about 2 inches long.
- Then cut through stems just to where florets start, and break apart so broccoli is in same-sized pieces. (This method of cutting through the stems and then breaking the broccoli apart also eliminates the mess when you cut broccoli and small bits fall off.)
- Whisk together the olive oil, soy sauce or coconut aminos, and sesame oil.
- Place broccoli in a plastic mixing bowl and toss well that mixture.
- Arrange the broccoli in a single layer on a baking sheet. I like to make sure any flat sides are touching the baking sheet for the best browning
- Roast 10 minutes.
- After 10 minutes, stir or turn broccoli pieces over and then continue roasting 5 minutes more, or until broccoli is tender-crisp and slightly browned on the edges. (The step of turning it over is only to get more even browning; you can roast it without turning if you prefer.)
- While broccoli roasts, toast sesame seeds in a dry pan over very high heat for 30-60 seconds.
- When broccoli is done, arrange on serving dish and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
- Serve hot.
PRO-TIPS:
You can use coconut aminos for the Paleo or Whole 30 version of this recipe.
