“Don’t be afraid to crank your oven right up high to get that broccoli charred and cooked to perfection. The flavour intensifies and it becomes rich, naturally sweet, and so delicious. It’s a great way to use up the whole broccoli with zero waste. The Stalk holds so much flavour and nutrition and is perfect roasted like this.”

- Place the broccoli onto the baking tray, drizzle with the olive oil, season well with salt and pepper and gently toss.
- Roast for 15 minutes until lightly charred and the stalk softened.
- Meanwhile, combine the tahini sauce ingredients with ¼ cup or so of water to make it a thick pouring consistency.
