Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 425°F. Toss 1.5 lb broccoli florets with 2 tbsp olive oil, salt, and pepper on a baking sheet. Spread in a single layer.

  2. Step 2

    Roast for 15-18 minutes, until edges are browned and stems are tender when pierced with a fork.

  3. Step 3

    Meanwhile, toast 1 tbsp sesame seeds and 1/4 cup slivered almonds in a dry skillet over medium heat, stirring often, until golden and fragrant, about 3 minutes.

  4. Step 4

    In a small bowl, mix 1/2 cup plain yogurt with a pinch of salt and pepper. Drizzle over the roasted broccoli.

  5. Step 5

    Sprinkle the toasted sesame and almonds over the broccoli, then top with 1/2 cup microgreens. Serve warm.
