Bang Bang Broccoli
This bang bang broccoli is the ultimate side vegetarian dish. It's creamy, crunchy, spicy and SO GOOD! And if you switch out the mayo for nonfat Greek yogurt, it can even be healthy! It pairs perfectly with grilled meats and plenty of Asian inspired dishes!
Ingredients
for the broccoli
- 1 head broccoli cut into large florets
- 2 tbs olive oil
- ½ cup cashews (roasted or raw work)
- ½ lime, juiced
- 2 tablespoon cilantro roughly chopped
- kosher salt
for the bang bang sauce
- ¼ cup mayo or greek yogurt
- ¼ cup sweet chili sauce
- 2 teaspoon sriracha
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425F degrees.
- Add broccoli, 2 tablespoon olive oil and a large pinch of salt to a baking sheet and toss. Spread the pieces equally apart and bake for 18-20 minutes or until golden on the bottom.
- Meanwhile, in a small bowl mix together ¼ cup mayo, ¼ cup sweet chili sauce, and 2 teaspoon sriracha and stir until smooth. Add more sriracha if you like it spicier.
- Once the 18 minute are up, remove the sheet pan from the oven and add the cashews right on top.
- Bake for another 3 minutes or until they’re heated through.
- Remove the broccoli and cashews from the oven once more and push everything towards the center of the pan. Drizzle with the Bang Bang Sauce and toss together — making sure that everything is thoroughly coated.
- Place on a serving platter and finish with a squeeze of lime juice from ½ a lime and about 2 tablespoon of fresh cilantro.
