Ingredients

  • 3-4 heads broccoli split into florets
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste
  • ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • ⅔ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • ⅔ cup panko bread crumbs, sautéed in olive oil
  • 1 lemon juiced and zested
  • ½ cup Tahini Sauce, plus more as needed

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread the broccoli evenly on the baking sheet and drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Using tongs, gently toss the florets in the oil to combine and season with 4 tablespoons of the tahini sauce, salt and pepper and red pepper flakes. Toss to combine.
  • Transfer the baking sheet into the oven and roast for 15-20 minutes until the broccoli is just golden and slightly crispy.
  • Remove the baking sheet from the oven and drizzle more 2-3 tablespoons more of the tahini sauce on top. Toss with the toasted buttered breadcrumbs, tons of freshly grated parmesan cheese, lemon juice and zest and serve as needed.

Notes

A few tips and tricks for perfect Roasted Broccoli:
  1. Don’t skimp on the olive oil before roasting! You need that fat to ensure these brown up nicely without drying out.
  2. The Vegan Caesar dressing is one that you’ve seen before here on WGC and it can easily be prepped ahead. If it gets too thick when prepping ahead, add a few tablespoons of water to thin it out.
  3. The crispy panko is EVERYTHING and please don’t skip it. I put it on anything that needs an extra crunch and it’s perfection.
  4. I know it’s tempting to grab a bag of the pre-cut florets, but go for the full head of broccoli and cut them into florets yourself. The broccoli is more fresh, won’t smell funny when roasted and will just be better!
