- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon grated or finely chopped garlic
- 1 pound broccoli spears
- 2 teaspoons sesame seeds
- 2 teaspoons low sodium soy sauce
- ½ teaspoon rice vinegar
- salt and pepper
To make the broccoli, mix the oil and garlic together in a large bowl. Add the broccoli spears and toss to coat with the oil mixture.
Transfer the broccoli to a baking sheet, spreading it out in a single layer. Roast in the oven, turning once, until the broccoli starts to brown, about 12 minutes. Sprinkle the sesame seeds on top and roast another 5 minutes until the broccoli is cooked and sesame seeds are toasted.
Remove the pan from the oven and place the broccoli in a bowl. Drizzle the soy sauce and vinegar on top and toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
