Broccolini and Sauce
- 1 lb (450g) broccolini, trimmed
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 1 tsp honey or maple syrup
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)
Garnish
- 1 tsp sesame seeds, toasted
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prepare for roasting.
- Prepare Broccolini: In a large bowl, toss the trimmed broccolini with olive oil, soy sauce, sesame oil, honey (or maple syrup), minced garlic, and red pepper flakes if using. Make sure each piece is evenly coated with the flavorful mixture.
- Roast: Spread the broccolini in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast in the oven for 12–15 minutes, turning the broccolini halfway through cooking, until it becomes tender and slightly caramelized on the edges.
- Garnish & Serve: Once roasted, sprinkle the toasted sesame seeds over the broccolini. Serve warm as a delicious side dish or as part of a grain or protein bowl.
Notes
- For a gluten-free option, substitute soy sauce with tamari.
- Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes to taste for desired heat level.
- Maple syrup can be used as a vegan-friendly alternative to honey.
- Keep an eye on the broccolini while roasting to avoid burning, as oven temperatures can vary.
- Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
