Ingredients
  

1 large head of broccoli, cut into bite-sized florets

3 tablespoons olive oil

3 tablespoons sweet chili sauce

1 tablespoon soy sauce

1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger

2 cloves garlic, minced

Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional)

Chopped green onions for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Begin by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it's ready for roasting.

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, grated ginger, minced garlic, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Whisk these ingredients together until well blended, creating a flavorful marinade.

      Carefully add the broccoli florets to the marinade and toss them thoroughly, ensuring each piece is evenly coated for maximum flavor.

        Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup. Spread the marinated broccoli florets in a single layer on the baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded for optimal roasting.

          Roast the broccoli in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes. Keep an eye on them and stir halfway through to promote even cooking. The broccoli should be tender and have a beautiful, slightly crispy edge.

            If using sesame seeds, sprinkle them over the roasted broccoli and return the baking sheet to the oven for an additional 2-3 minutes. This will toast the seeds and enhance their flavor.

              After they are done roasting, remove the broccoli from the oven and allow it to cool for a couple of minutes. For an extra touch, sprinkle with chopped green onions if desired.
