Instructions

• Preheat oven to 450°F (220°C). Spray a large baking sheet with non-stick spray (use the largest sheet you have).
• Trim broccoli: remove any tough, woody stem ends. Cut broccoli into pieces about 2 inches long; cut through stems just to where the florets start, then break apart so pieces are roughly the same size.
• In a small bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, and 1 teaspoon sesame oil.
• Place the broccoli pieces in a large mixing bowl, pour the oil/soy mixture over them, and toss until evenly coated.
• Arrange the broccoli in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, placing any flat sides down so they make good contact with the sheet.
• Roast in the preheated oven for 10 minutes.
• After 10 minutes, stir or turn the broccoli pieces and continue roasting 5 minutes more, or until the broccoli is tender‑crisp and slightly browned on the edges.
• While the broccoli roasts, toast 1 tablespoon sesame seeds in a dry skillet over very high heat for 30–60 seconds, tossing or stirring constantly, until fragrant and lightly browned. Remove from heat immediately.
• Transfer the roasted broccoli to a serving dish, sprinkle with the toasted sesame seeds, and serve hot.
