Roasted Broccoli
- 4-5 small crowns broccoli trimmed (5-6 cups florets)
- olive oil
- salt and pepper
Creamy Tahini Dressing:
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 Tbs toasted sesame oil

Add ins

Instructions
-
Cook barley or other grain of choice according to package instructions. Add a pinch of salt to the cooking water. Barley takes roughly 45 minutes to cook to a tender chewiness.
-
While the barley is cooking prepare the rest of the ingredients as follows:
-Toast the nuts on a baking sheet - approx 5 min @ 400F. Set aside.
-Trim, wash and dry off your pieces of broccoli. Toss with 1 Tbsp olive oil, salt and pepper and place on a large rimmed baking sheet. Roast @ 400F for 15-20 min tossing halfway through.
-Prepare the Creamy Tahini Dressing. The dressing will be fairly potent on its own, but is perfect when added to the broccoli bowls.
-Slice, chop and crumble any add-ins. -
When there is about 5 minutes of the roasting time remaining for the broccoli, toss it with 2-3 Tbs of the Creamy Tahini Dressing.
-
When the barley is done, build your bowls, top with dressing and enjoy!
Notes
If you like a lot of dressing, I'd suggest doubling the recipe. You can always save some for later in the week!
