Method
- 1 x 800 g head broccoli
- 3–4 T olive oil
- 4–5 cloves garlic, unpeeled
- sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 3–4 T sesame seeds, toasted, for sprinkling

- ¼ cup hot water (or more)
Method
Ingredients
- Preheat the oven to 220°C.
- Cut the broccoli into quarters, then place on a large baking sheet lined with baking paper. Leave space between the pieces to prevent it from steaming.
- Moisten the broccoli with olive oil, tuck in the garlic cloves and season with salt. Roast for 30 minutes, or until tender-crisp and charred. Season with pepper. Turn onto a large platter, leaving room for a bowl of sauce. Sprinkle with the sesame seeds and za’atar, if using.
- To make the sauce, place the lemon juice into a bowl and add the garlic. Stir in the tahini, then the yoghurt. Add salt to taste. Leave it thick for dipping, but thin down with hot water for coating.
