Roasted Broccoli & Tahini

Nutrition per serving (estimate)

Why we like it

High-heat roasting gives broccoli crispy, nutty edges that boiling never does, and the tahini dressing adds creaminess. Broccoli is high in vitamin C, and the dish is fully plant-based and low in carbs.

Ingredients

• 1 large head broccoli
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 3 garlic cloves
• Salt and red pepper flakes
• For tahini dressing: 2 tbsp tahini, 1 lemon, 1 garlic clove, 2 tbsp water

• Fresh parsley
