Description
A simple and flavorful side dish that’s ready in under 25 minutes. Bite-sized broccoli florets are coated in a savory miso garlic butter sauce, then roasted until crispy. Pair it with your favorite protein and carbs for a complete meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 tablespoon light soy sauce
- 1/2 tablespoon white miso paste
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon butter (unsalted)
- 1 tablespoon roasted white sesame seeds (optional)
- 1 lb broccoli florets
Instructions
- Prep the Broccoli: Wash and dry broccoli florets. Cut them into bite-sized pieces for even roasting if preferred.
- Make the Sauce: In a microwave-safe bowl, heat the butter in the microwave for about 30 seconds until melted. To the melted butter, add light soy sauce, miso paste, rice vinegar, garlic, and sesame seeds. Mix until well combined.
- Coat the Broccoli: Place the broccoli florets in a large mixing bowl. Pour the sauce over them and toss until evenly coated. The broccoli may look lightly coated, but the sauce is intensely flavored and salty, so a little goes a long way.
- Roast the Broccoli: Preheat your oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup. Spread the broccoli in a single layer, ensuring there’s space between each piece. Roast for about 15-18 minutes. If you prefer it crispier, move the tray to the top rack after roasting and broil at 400°F for 2-3 minutes, until the edges brown to your liking.
- Serve the broccoli on its own as a snack or as a side dish to your favorite protein and carbs for a complete meal.
Notes
If you don’t have rice vinegar, you can squeeze lime or lemon juice over the roasted vegetables once they’re done.
You can also use the same sauce on steamed or raw broccoli for a quick and tasty salad.
