Description
This easy charred broccoli recipe with spicy peanut sauce is a wonderful, bright side dish with notes of sweet and spicy.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lbs broccoli florets (3 small heads)
- Olive oil spray
- Salt and pepper
Dressing
- 1/4 cup natural peanut butter*
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons sriracha
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
To garnish
- 2 tablespoons sesame seeds and/or almond flakes
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400F/200C.
- Cut the broccoli into long florets and place on a rimmed baking sheet. Spray with oil, then sprinkle with salt and pepper. Toss to coat.
- Place the sheet pan in the middle rack of the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes. Stir the broccoli halfway through the cooking time. You’ll know it’s done when it is mostly a nice golden brown (with some black charred bits on the buds) and can be pierced with a fork but still has some resistance.
- Meanwhile, in a small bowl or screw-top jar, combine the peanut butter, honey, sriracha, soy sauce, and rice vinegar. Whisk or shake the jar until the ingredients are creamy and emulsified. Thin out with 1-2 tablespoons of water if needed.
- Place the broccoli on a serving platter, drizzle with the sauce, sprinkle with the nuts and seeds, and enjoy!
Notes
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
- Use tahini instead of peat butter to make nut-free.*
