Steps:
- Preheat oven to 450*.
- Spread florets on baking sheet, drizzle oil over and toss to spread evenly.
- Roast for 20 minutes (browned).

- HOW TO TOAST SESAME SEEDS: place seeds in a metal pie plate, placed in oven with broccoli OR toast in a frying pan on the stove top. Watch carefully as they can burn mighty quick and don't taste a bit good like that!

Tips:
- Choose the freshest broccoli: Look for broccoli with tightly closed florets and a deep green color. Avoid any broccoli that has yellowing or wilted leaves.
- Blanch the broccoli: Blanching the broccoli helps to preserve its color and nutrients. To blanch the broccoli, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the broccoli and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the broccoli is bright green and tender. Immediately remove the broccoli from the boiling water and place it in a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
- Make the sesame sauce: The sesame sauce is what gives this dish its delicious flavor. To make the sesame sauce, whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, sugar, and garlic in a small bowl until the sugar is dissolved.
- Toast the sesame seeds: Toasting the sesame seeds adds a nutty flavor to the dish. To toast the sesame seeds, heat a small skillet over medium heat. Add the sesame seeds and cook, stirring constantly, for 2-3 minutes, or until the sesame seeds are golden brown.
- Assemble the dish: To assemble the dish, simply toss the blanched broccoli with the sesame sauce and toasted sesame seeds. Serve immediately.

This summer fresh sesame broccoli is a delicious and healthy side dish that is perfect for any occasion. The broccoli is blanched to preserve its color and nutrients, and the sesame sauce adds a delicious flavor. This dish is also very easy to make, and it can be ready in just a few minutes.
