The nutty, salty-sweet flavor of the Japanese sesame mixture known as gomae pairs perfectly with the roasted notes of charred broccoli. To maximize flavorful browning, distribute the broccoli evenly in the skillet and pat down the pieces so they make contact with the pan's hot surface. You will need a 12-inch cast-iron skillet for this recipe.

Addictive Broccoli
LOVED this recipe and could not stop eating it. Texture of the broccoli was great and really delicious tossed with the sauce.

I roast broccoli & carrots weekly seems like it would be easier to roast veggies & then dress with the sauce. Looking forward to making this recipe.
