Crispy Broccoli with Lemon Tahini Sauce
The best way to eat broccoli is with a little lemon tahini drizzle to bring out the natural flavors.
Ingredients
- 2 heads Broccoli
- 1 tablespoon Avocado Oil
- ½ teaspoon Garlic Powder
- ½ teaspoon Salt
- ½ teaspoon Pepper
Lemon Tahini Sauce
- 1 tablespoon Tahini
- 1 Lemon juiced
- 2 tablespoon Olive Oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
- ½ teaspoon Salt
- ½ teaspoon Pepper
- ¼ teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes
Instructions
- Slice the broccoli into about 1 inch slices. They should look like little trees and there is no need to be exact here. Coat the broccoli in avocado oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Lay the broccoli flat in the air fryer or on a sheet pan if you are using the oven. Air fry on 350 degrees for about 11 minutes, checking at 5 minutes. If you are using the oven, preheat to 350 degree and roast the broccoli for about 20 minutes or until it starts to char.
- For the sauce, combine all the ingredients into a blender or a jar to use the immersion blender. I prefer to use the immersion blender here, but either will work. Start to blend and add a teaspoon of water at a time as needed. This amount will depend on the consistency of the tahini to start. Once it is all blended, the goal is for it to be a similar consistency to ranch dressing.
- When broccoli is crispy, pull it out of the air fryer or oven and drizzle with lemon tahini sauce. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
- This sauce goes good on ANY veggie so make extra.
- I like using avocado oil to get the broccoli crispy, but any oil will do.
- If you have smaller kids, you can always cut the broccoli into smaller florets.
- My favorite Tahini is from Artisana Organics.
