5-ingredient sticky hoisin-roasted broccoli wedges
"Hoisin sauce is the ideal combination of tangy, salty, and sweet. Since this recipe relies on hoisin as the main sauce, it’s worth making from scratch. When using a jarred or bottled hoisin sauce, be sure to taste it first, some can be sweeter or saltier than others so you may need to adjust to taste. This recipe adds a freshness to the sauce with grated ginger and lime and uses it as a glaze for broccoli. Served with fresh herbs, you can enjoy this dish as a side, veggie main, or on top of rice, noodles, or your favorite grain. If you have a grill, grill the broccoli instead of roasting it."

Nutrition per serving
Step 1/3
- 1 head broccoli
- 10 g ginger
- ½ lime
- 4 tbsp hoisin sauce
- 2 scallions
- oven
- cutting board
- fillet knife
- peeler
- citrus press
- bowl
Preheat the oven or grill to 200°C/390°F. Slice off the bottom of the broccoli stem, then use a vegetable peeler to peel the woodier skin off the stem. Slice broccoli down the middle, then cut each half lengthwise into three pieces, so you have 6 "wedges". For the glaze, grate ginger and squeeze lime juice into a bowl with the hoisin sauce. Mix well. Thinly slice scallions at an angle. Set aside.
Step 2/3
- salt
- vegetable oil (for coating)
- baking sheet
- pastry brush
- spatula
Transfer broccoli to a lined baking sheet. Brush with the hoisin glaze and drizzle with vegetable oil. Season with salt and roast for approx. 15 min. Flip and let roast for approx. 10 min. more, or until the broccoli is charred and fork tender in the thickest parts of the stem.
Step 3/3
- mint (for serving)
- lime (for serving)
- sesame seed (for garnish)
Remove broccoli from the oven. Serve immediately garnished with scallions and plucked mint leaves, plus extra lime wedges and sesame seeds, if desired. Enjoy!
