Ingredients

• 1 lb broccoli
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 2 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tbsp sesame oil
• 1 tbsp honey
• 2 cloves garlic
• 2 tsp sesame seeds
• 0.5 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
• 0.25 tsp salt
• 0.25 tsp black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Wash the broccoli, dry it thoroughly, and cut it into bite-sized florets.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, toss the broccoli florets with olive oil, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.

Step 4

Spread the broccoli in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring the pieces are not overcrowded.

Step 5

Roast the broccoli in the oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the edges are slightly charred and crispy, flipping halfway through.

Step 6

While the broccoli roasts, prepare the sesame glaze by mixing soy sauce, sesame oil, honey, minced garlic, and red pepper flakes (if using) in a small bowl.

Step 7

Toast the sesame seeds in a small dry skillet over medium heat until lightly golden and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes. Set aside.

Step 8

Once the broccoli is roasted, transfer it back to the mixing bowl and pour the sesame glaze over it. Toss gently to coat all the florets.

Step 9

Transfer the glazed broccoli to a serving dish and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds for garnish.

Step 10

Serve warm as a side dish and enjoy!
