Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F.

Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

Make sure the broccoli florets are roughly 1 inch wide, and place them in a large mixing bowl. Sprinkle with the tamari, sesame oil, brown sugar, and crushed red pepper (if using). Toss until the florets are evenly coated.

Arrange the broccoli florets in an even layer on the baking sheet.

Roast on middle rack of oven, stirring halfway through the cook time, until broccoli is crisp-tender and slightly charred, 22-25 minutes.

Check to see that broccoli is done. Remove from oven or add time as needed.

Sprinkle the florets with sesame seeds, and serve immediately.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Moisture Management 💦
Pat broccoli florets completely dry before roasting to ensure maximum crispiness and prevent steaming instead of caramelization.
Sesame Seed Toasting Technique 🥜
Toast sesame seeds in a dry skillet for 2-3 minutes before sprinkling to unlock their deepest, nuttiest flavor profile.
Spacing is Key 🥦
Use a large baking sheet and spread broccoli in a single layer with space between florets to guarantee even roasting and prevent soggy edges.
Tamari Glaze Timing 🥢
Add tamari sauce and brown sugar in the last 5 minutes of roasting to prevent burning while creating a perfect caramelized exterior.
Heat Management Hack 🔥
Preheat your baking sheet in the oven for 5 minutes before adding broccoli to create an instant sear and enhance caramelization.
