Crispy Roasted Broccoli With Tahini Sauce

Three simple things separate the kind of crispy, flavorful roasted vegetables that you could happily eat three nights a week from the kind that feel like a sad afterthought—and this roasted broccoli recipe gets it right. For one, making sure not to crowd the vegetables on the sheet pan ensures that they actually roast, not just steam. And cranking the heat—425°F is the sweet spot—helps to achieve exterior browning and caramelization more quickly, so that the veggies stay crisp-tender. Finally: SAUCE! Even the simplest, throw-together tahini sauce makes a platter of roasted broccoli feel a lot more special. And there you have it folks: roasted veggies you can actually get excited about.
