Kids Love It: Roasted Broccoli with Sesame Oil
NOTE: Make sure that you are not allergic to sesame before trying this. You can always swap out the sesame oil for something else!
We’ve had so many requests for this recipe since randomly sharing this one night on my personal Facebook page, that we’ve decided to just put it on the site.
It is so easy, so good, and even my pickiest, non-green loving child wolfs it down.
The kids will eat this every time I make it. Their friends do. They try to get it all before the other kids do. It’s the best kind of awesome, and as a mom who was clueless to all of this ten years ago, still makes me so grateful.
And it’s so easy:
- Broccoli, sprinkled with sesame oil, salt and pepper.
- Single layer the broccoli heads on a baking sheet.
- Sprinkle with sesame oil, salt and pepper.
- Pop the tray into the oven at 450 for about 15 minutes.
So good that while we were getting this post up, we got this note from a mom of teenagers.
Get your veggies on!
