Ingredients

Broccoli

  • 1 ½ pounds broccoli about 3 good-sized crowns, cut into same size florets
  • 4 scallions cut into 2-inch pieces, optional
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil
  • Kosher salt and black pepper

Thai Dressing

  • ¼ cup freshly squeezed lime juice from 1 to 2 limes
  • 1 scallion finely chopped
  • 1 ½ teaspoons light brown sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon red-pepper flakes more if you like it spicy
  • 2 tablespoons fish sauce
  • 1 tablespoon cilantro finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon mint finely chopped

Instructions

Broccoli

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
  • Place broccoli and scallions in a roasting or sheet pan and combine with the olive oil. Season well with salt and pepper and toss again. Roast until crisp and browned in spots, about 25-30 minutes, tossing halfway through.

Thai Dressing

  • While the broccoli roasts, make the dressing. In a medium bowl, whisk the lime juice, scallions, brown sugar, red pepper flakes, fish sauce, cilantro and mint together until the brown sugar is dissolved. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

Assembly

  • Transfer broccoli and scallions to a serving bowl or plate and spoon on dressing. Serve immediately.

Notes

If there's any leftover dressing, it would taste great on broiled or grilled fish or chicken.
