Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams broccoli florets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash and thoroughly dry the broccoli florets, ensuring they are evenly sized for consistent roasting.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, sesame oil, soy sauce, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to create the marinade.
Add the broccoli florets to the bowl and toss until they are evenly coated with the marinade.
Spread the prepared broccoli in a single layer on the lined baking sheet, making sure not to overcrowd the florets.
Sprinkle the sesame seeds evenly over the broccoli.
Roast in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, flipping the broccoli halfway through, until the edges are golden and slightly crispy.
Remove the tray from the oven and allow the broccoli to cool for 2-3 minutes before serving.
Serve warm as a healthy side dish or snack, and enjoy!
