Quick Navigation

Sorry for the lack of recipes last week, but it’s been just a *touch* insane in the Debth household. Over the past two weeks, we’ve been in Destin, Raleigh, Columbia, Cedar Rapids, Madison, back to Cedar Rapids, and back to Raleigh.

Whew. That was a lot.

Why?

Well, basically, Trevor, Teddy, and I have been on a road trip around the US & Canada the past six months, and we’ve decided to make a home base in Raleigh, NC! Yay!!

We’re still going to continue our travels (New Orleans, we’re comin’ for you in April! Denver, Phoenix, all the cities in California 😉 , and the PNW are still on the docket as well), but we got so slammed with work the past six months, that we need a place to work and we’ll just travel from there!

We think it’ll be the best of both worlds.

Now that we’re all caught up, let’s talk about today’s recipe shall we?! Thanks for being patient. 🙂 <3

Asian Roasted Broccoli.

I never in a million years thought I’d actually be obsessed with a roasted broccoli recipe.

I mean.

It’s just broccoli, right?

There’s nothing exciting about it, right?

Right?

Wrong.

THIS roasted broccoli isn’t just any roasted broccoli, THIS is Asian Roasted Broccoli and it’s delish.

Fresh broccoli tossed with coconut oil, soy sauce, rice vinegar, garlic powder, ginger powder, and sriracha <— YES.

A little tang, a little heat, and a whooooole lotta yum, you actually need this asian roasted broccoli in your life.

I have SO many Asian inspired recipes on the blog. I say “Asian inspired” or “Asian style”, because literally zero of my recipes, I’m sure, are actually authentic.

But that’s ok, because they’re absolutely delicious and EASY and that’s what this blog is all about.

All my Asian inspired recipes, however, are all pretty much main dishes.

While that’s great, I thought it was about time to throw in some healthy side dishes for you.

And that’s why, today, I’m bringing you this asian roasted broccoli recipe.

This recipe was inspired by my nannying days.

When Trevor and I lived in Seattle, I nannied for four kids.

They were SUPER healthy eaters (for the most part 😉 ) and they LOVED broccoli.

Because of that broccoli was always on the grocery list and after I’d get my shopping done I’d immediately come home and steam it on the stove, so it would be ready for dinners.

When dinner came around, the kids would ask for broccoli as their veggie and they ALWAYS asked for soy sauce on the side. They LOVED dipping their broccoli in soy sauce.

At first I was like, what the heck? but I gave it a try and I immediately fell in love. Am I alone in never trying steamed broccoli dipped in soy sauce?!

This is my slightly more advanced, more flavorful version of that. 😉

So kids. Thank you! <3

You’ll start by throwing broccoli onto a silicone mat lined baking sheet. Set this aside while you whisk together the “sauce”: coconut oil, soy sauce, seasoned rice vinegar, garlic powder, ginger powder, and sriracha.

Bake until roast-y, toast-y, and delicious, and that’s it!

You guys.

This asian roasted broccoli is literally the easiest side dish ever and it’s SO freaking healthy for you. Plus, only 60 calories for 1/4th of the recipe!

If you have a broccoli hater, I dare you to serve this to them. It’s so flavorful and is the perfect combination of salty and tangy with just a touch of spice.

Quick. Easy. Healthy. Tasty.

    5 stars Excellent recipe! I didn’t have ginger powder and used frozen broccoli florets. But otherwise, I followed the recipe as written. Very flavorful and paired well with my honey garlic chicken. I will definitely make this again. Thanks for sharing!

    5 stars Usually I do a recipe just as written first and then adjust. However, I did a combo broccoli/cauliflower mix and tossed the veggies with the sauce mixture prior to putting in the oven. I only roasted for 18 minutes, but It turned out great. Next time I will cook a little longer to get the caramelization going.

    3 stars I could taste the coconut oil which doesn’t go with broccoli in my opinion. I would use sesame next time.

      Be sure to use Refined Coconut Oil… it shouldn’t taste like coconut then. Virgin coconut oil will taste like coconut. Sesame oil is a finishing oil, so I’d recommend using avocado oil for roasting, then drizzle on a touch of sesame oil at the end.

    5 stars This broccoli was delicious! We had it on the side of homemade general tso and sweet and sour chicken. The flavor was subtle but present. I wouldn’t change a thing!

      Hi, Lee! I don’t see why not, it might just alter the texture slightly. I’m sure it’ll still be delicious though 🙂

    5 stars Covid Christmas with granddaughter who was tested positive a week ago but feeling fine. I was looking for something fun and spicy to liven up Christmas dinner, so asked for a simple broccoli recipe and this came up. It was perfect with our ham dinner. Super easy and very tasty. Yes, I’ll definitely make it again.

      Thanks, Ruby! Glad you loved the recipe and so glad your granddaughter is feeling well! 🙂

    4 stars Did you roast the broccoli on a rack, or can you roast directly on parchment paper. I plan to make this tonight with Hoisin Pork Tenderloin and Sticky Rice!
    Reply

    • Jennifer @ Show Me the Yummy

      Hi Beth! I roasted it using a silicone mat placed on the baking sheet and it worked perfectly! If you don’t have a silicone mat, parchment paper will work too! No rack needed 🙂 hope you love it!

    5 stars So we used red peppers, ginger, fresh garlic, amber nectar, and melted butter inspired by this recipe. It’s on the oven now but smells amazing!

    5 stars First time making this broccoli tonight and served with chicken teriyaki and brown rice. It was so flavorful and easy to put together. Much better than the plain steamed broccoli we normally eat! Will definitely be remaking this!

    5 stars This was very flavorful. Next time I will put under the broiler for a little bit to crisp it up some.

    5 stars This was excellent! I used ground roasted garlic instead of regular ground garlic and cooked it on the BBQ Grill inside of a foil pan. I did use sesame seeds for garnish, but not the red pepper flakes.

    My brother and his wife have lived in Raleigh for something like over ten years now (they have two daughters, one teen and one pre-teen) and absolutely love it there! I hope you and your family enjoy it even half as much as they have!!
