This Roast Broccoli & Spicy Tahini is so easy & delicious + uses the whole broccoli for zero waste - getting the maximum for what you pay for!
Don’t be afraid to crank your oven right up high to get that broccoli charred and cooked to perfection.
The stalk holds so much flavour & nutrition so roast them, stir fry them, grate them raw into salads!
Serves 4
Ingredients
3 head broccolis, cut lengthways into quarters or sixths
3-4 tbsp olive oil
Salt, pepper
⅓ cup tahini
1-2tbsp sriracha
1 tbsp sesame oil
1 tbsp maple syrup or honey
1 tbsp soy sauce
Juice 1 lemon
1-2 clove garlic
⅓ cup toasted almonds, roughly crushed
⅓ cup shallots/spring onions, thinly sliced
1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds
Method
Preheat an oven to 240C and line a tray with baking paper.
Place the broccoli onto the baking tray, drizzle with the olive oil, season well with salt, pepper and gently toss.
Roast for 15 minutes until lightly charred and the stalk softened.
Meanwhile, combine the tahini sauce ingredients with ¼ cup or so of water to make it a thick pouring consistency.
Transfer the cooked broccoli to a platter, squeeze over some lemon and spoon over the sauce, making sure it hits all the parts of the broccoli so the nuts and herbs all stick to it!
Scatter over the almonds, shallots, sesame seeds and another squeeze of lemon if you please!
