This recipe is on regular rotation at my house. It's a perfect make-at-the-start-of-the-week vegetable dish. I think it's delicious cold and it also reheats well. The lemon juice at the end brightens it up perfectly, and I often sprinkle some cilantro on right before serving as well.

I want to make this for Thanksgiving. Any suggestions for make-ahead and keep warm?

Loved this recipe! Big fan of tahini with veggies and marrying it with broccoli worked really well.

I've made this many times and absolutely love it. Such interesting flavor to me. I definitely cook for closer to 20-25 mins, I like a little char on the edges and it gives grat flavor to the sauce. Question for anyone- Do you think it would be fine to make the dressing ahead of time and keep in fridge til ready? I try and prep as much as I can for meals. Thanks!

This is far more delicious than a recipe this easy and healthy should be allowed to be. If you've ever doubted that a single human can eat an entire head of broccoli in one sitting, make this recipe and find out.

This is an easy and great side that stands its own! But definitely don't leave out the peeled stems, chopped into a 1/2 dice or so. They have a nice crunchy contrast.

Worked well. It was yummy. I used two heads of broccoli and it was soft after 10mins. I kept it in for a bit long for some extra goodness, then added it to a bowl with spinach leaves, diced red capsicum, a soft poached egg and sprinkled with buckini.

I just made this to pair with salmon, and this might be the first time in my life that I've eaten my veggies first! I also sprinkled a little harissa spice on them before roasting- I'm addicted to it, and it's never steered me wrong when paired with broccoli!

I loved this recipe! I will definitely keep roasting veg in tahini in mind. I roasted the broccoli in the oven for closer to 20-25 minutes, I like a bit of char, but this didn't affect the tahini negatively. I fried some smoky chickpeas and added them to the pan for the last 5 minutes to dry out, and I had it over rice and quinoa with a poached egg, feta, and cabbage slaw

I haven’t made this yet, but based on experience, I think I would roast the broccoli with everything except the lemon and tahini. I like any roasted vegetable charred so I’d leave it in the oven until it is. Once out of the oven, I would squeeze the lemon all over the broccoli, and then place the broccoli on a platter and drizzle with tahini or toss the broccoli with tahini in a bowl.

I will say that even coated pre-roasting, I still managed to get nice crunchy spears, because that's how I like them myself. It also roasts the tahini coating, which I find to be a better flavor as well.

I won't make it again; it was far too lemony, dry and not creamy at all.
My own recipe with just olive oil, salt and garlic is far better.

Ten minutes seems too short... can anyone speak to the roasting time?

It’s been 2 years since I made this, but I don’t recall any issues. 450 degrees is a pretty hot oven and as long as your broccoli florets are not too large it will be enough time. This reminds me I need to make this again!

The tahini adds great dimension to the broccoli and the recipe is simple. I will do this one again. If anyone’s discovered great meat or protein pairings, please post your recommendations.

Oh! I will try again on this as I see the ingredients look good! Perhaps I did not whisk enough and or I have thicker tahini(?) I even had to add extra oil (added grapeseed oil) yet the mixture was a clumpy and just overpowered the poor brocolini. My suggestion is to use a hand blender or be an olympic whisker to make something that drizzles.

I think regular broccoli holds up better than it's more tender cousin. I've also made this with (gasp!) mayonnaise in place of the tahini—smoother and just as delicious.

I see in the recipe it says best served while hot. However, I am hoping to make it for a potluck and wonder if anyone can advise me about whether it is still good at room temperature.

Laurie, I haven’t tried the recipe, yet, but I will. Just wanted to say I’m envious...two Corgis! I am Corgi obsessed. Daughters are nice, too.

excellent! excellent! Sooooo good. Leftovers were also great in a rainbow bowl with tahini dressing, made from the same tahini used to make this.
