Ingredients
- ✓0.9 kg Broccoli florets
- ✓45 ml Avocado oil
- ✓15 ml Tamari
- ✓340 g Firm silken tofu
- ✓120 ml Tahini
- ✓15 ml Lemon juice
- ✓120 ml Sunflower seeds
- ✓30 ml Sesame seeds
- ✓1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- ✓0.5 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 218 °C (220 °C). Toss broccoli florets with avocado oil, tamari, and cracked black pepper until evenly coated.
💡
Tip:Spread the broccoli in a single layer without overcrowding to ensure deep browning rather than steaming.
2
Roast the broccoli on a rimmed baking sheet for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the edges are dark and crispy.
💡
Tip:Check for tenderness by piercing a thick stem with a fork; it should yield with little resistance.
3
While roasting, combine tofu, tahini, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt in a blender until the mixture is velvety and smooth.
💡
Tip:If the mixture is too thick, add a teaspoon of warm water at a time until you reach a spreadable, whipped consistency.
4
In a small dry pan, lightly toast sunflower seeds, sesame seeds, paprika, and red pepper flakes over low heat for 3-4 minutes until fragrant.
💡
Tip:Keep a close watch to prevent the seeds from burning as they can go from toasted to charred very quickly.
5
To serve, spread the whipped tofu base onto plates, top with the hot roasted broccoli, and finish with a heavy sprinkle of the seed mixture.
💡
Tip:Serve warm as a sophisticated side dish or as a light, protein-packed vegetarian main course.
