A simple, quick way to prepare broccoli that is loaded with flavour and texture, with a good kick of heat & tons of umami goodness.

INGREDIENTS

• 2 heads of broccoli, florets separated
• 3 tbsp. olive oil

For the dressing:

• 2 tbsp. soy sauce
• 1 tbsp. vinegar
• 1 finely chopped chilli, optional (remove the seeds for less spiciness)
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 60g toasted flaked almonds

METHOD

1. Preheat oven to 220°C
2. Spread the broccoli florets onto a baking sheet lined with baking paper. Drizzle with the olive oil, toss to coat, then spread back into one single layer. Roast in the oven for 10-12 minutes, until the edges of the florets are starting to brown and crisp up.
3. Meanwhile, prepare the dressing by whisking all the dressing ingredients together in a bowl.
4. Once the broccoli is roasted, pile onto a large dish and spoon the dressing onto it while it is still hot. Serve immediately.
