Crispy Sesame Broccoli

March 6, 2017 by Rachel Carr 2 Comments

Crispy roasted sesame broccoli is a perfect accompaniment to rice or noodles for a healthy, light dinner vegan!

If you always eat your broccoli steamed, you’ll find roasting it a revelation. The texture is absolutely fantastic, and it will even satisfy cravings for crunchy, salty snacks.  I love the ease of roasting as well because you can put it in the oven and forget it until it’s done. I think children will love broccoli this way as well!

You might even want to try adding some ginger or garlic to these, or even dipping them in some soy sauce!

Broccoli, by the way, is a powerhouse of nutrition! Did you know that it’s an amazing source of vitamin C, containing as much as 81 mg in one cup. Vitamin C plays a vital role in the formation of collagen, the main support system of the skin. Vitamin A and vitamin E are also crucial for healthy looking skin, both of which broccoli provides.

Broccoli is also a great source of fiber, folate, vitamin K and potassium.

    This looks great…..I think i will try just steaming the broccoli until just tender….toast the sesame seeds in a dry cast iron skillet, then transfer the broccoli and seeds to a bowl and pour the oils over, along with the pepper, chili flakes, and touch of salt….toss around and maybe make sure the bowl is warm… I think i would prefer this method, as then the oils are not overly heated….especially the olive oil. thanks for the idea..
