I love broccoli, but I know not everyone does (my husband included.) So, broccoli gets a makeover every time I make it.

Sometimes it’s oven-roasted with lemon and spices, and other times, topped with cheese and pepper.

This time, it got a little Chinese spin with take out flavor and toasted sesame seeds to finish. Try this broccoli for a new take on a healthy, yummy side.

Sesame with Dressing Broccoli

• 2 cups fresh broccoli florets

For the sauce:

• 1/4 teaspoon rice vinegar
• 1/4 teaspoon ginger powder
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• 2 tablespoons coconut aminos (or soy sauce)
• 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon honey
• pinch of salt and pepper
• shake or two of toasted sesame seeds

Steam the broccoli. (If you don’t have a steamer, I “steam” by adding about 1 inch of water to the bottom of a sauce pan with the broccoli, and turning the heat on high. Once the water is boiling, I stir the broccoli a couple times and cook until you can pretty easily insert a fork.)

For the sauce, mix the remaining ingredients together. Pour over the steamed broccoli, and add toasted sesame seeds to top.
