Description
Gochujang Broccoli is a flavorful and spicy dish that combines fresh broccoli with a bold Korean chili paste, creating a delicious twist on a classic vegetable side.
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh broccoli florets
- 2 tablespoons gochujang (Korean chili paste)
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon minced ginger
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional)
- 2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine gochujang, soy sauce, sesame oil, honey, minced garlic, and minced ginger. Mix well until smooth.
- Add the broccoli florets to the bowl and toss until they are evenly coated with the gochujang mixture.
- Spread the coated broccoli on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper in a single layer.
- Roast in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the broccoli is tender and slightly crispy on the edges.
- Remove from the oven and sprinkle with sesame seeds and sliced green onions before serving.
Notes
- For added protein, toss in some cooked chicken or tofu before roasting.
- If you prefer a milder flavor, reduce the amount of gochujang to 1 tablespoon and add a splash of water to thin the sauce.
