INGREDIENTS

  • Vegetables

    • 🥦 1 bunch broccoli, cut into florets

  • Oils and Sauces

    • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
    • 🌰 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
    • 2 tablespoons Asian-style chili paste
    • 2 teaspoons maple syrup

  • Spices and Seasonings

    • 🧂 1/2 teaspoon salt
    • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

  • Add-ons

    • 🧄 3 clove garlic, minced
    • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds

STEPS

1

Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat broiler. Place a steamer basket in a large saucepan. Add water just below the steamer basket and bring to a boil. Add broccoli to the steamer basket, reduce heat to medium-low, and steam, covered, until crisp-tender, about 240 seconds.

2

When cool enough to handle, spread steamed broccoli on a 10x15-inch rimmed baking sheet. Using the bottom of a sturdy glass, flatten broccoli florets to 1/2-inch thickness. Drizzle with vegetable oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and toss to coat.

3

Broil broccoli until charred around edges, about 360 seconds.

4

While broccoli is broiling, stir together chili paste, garlic, maple syrup, and sesame oil in a small bowl.

5

Spoon the prepared chili sauce over the broiled broccoli and sprinkle with sesame seeds before serving.
