Ingredients
- 1 lb. fresh broccoli florets trimmed
- 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce gluten-free if needed
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) for a hot oven to achieve perfect roasted texture.
- In a large mixing bowl, add the trimmed broccoli florets. Drizzle with olive oil, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Toss until the broccoli is well coated.
- Spread the broccoli out in a single layer on a baking sheet. Ensure florets are not overcrowded for even roasting.
- Roast the broccoli in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes. Halfway through, toss the broccoli with a spatula or tongs for even cooking.
- Once tender and slightly crispy, remove the broccoli from the oven. Immediately sprinkle toasted sesame seeds over the top while still hot.
- Transfer the roasted broccoli to a serving platter and enjoy warm or at room temperature.
