Time Required:
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 25 minutes (roasting + stir-fry)
Total Time: 35 minutes
Ingredients:
Vegetables:
1 medium head of broccoli, cut into florets
1 ½ cups mushrooms, sliced (shiitake, cremini, or button)
2 tbsp olive oil or avocado oil
1/4 tsp salt
Black pepper, to taste
Stir-Fry Sauce:
1 ½ tbsp low-sodium soy sauce (or tamari)
1 tsp sesame oil
1 tsp rice vinegar (or lemon juice)
1 tsp maple syrup or honey
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 tsp grated fresh ginger (or 1/4 tsp ground ginger)
Optional: 1/2 tsp cornstarch mixed with 1 tbsp water (for thickening)
Garnish (optional):
Sesame seeds
Sliced scallions
Chili flakes or sriracha (if you like heat)
Instructions:
1. Roast the vegetables:
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
Toss broccoli and mushrooms with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Spread evenly on a baking sheet (use parchment for easy cleanup).
Roast for 18–20 minutes, flipping halfway, until broccoli is crisp-tender and mushrooms are golden.
2. Make the sauce:
In a small bowl, whisk together all sauce ingredients. Add cornstarch slurry if you prefer a thicker glaze.
3. Stir-fry and finish:
Heat a pan over medium heat. Add the roasted veggies and stir in the sauce.
Cook for 1–2 minutes, stirring constantly, until everything is coated and the sauce thickens slightly.
4. Serve:
Garnish with sesame seeds and scallions.
Serve warm over rice, quinoa, or noodles.
Notes & Tips:
Use different mushrooms: Shiitake adds deep flavor, but any kind will work.
Make it spicy: Add a splash of chili oil or sriracha to the sauce.
Add protein: Great with tofu, tempeh, or a soft-boiled egg on top.
Meal prep: Roast veggies in advance and toss with sauce before eating.
❓ Frequently asked questions FAQ:
Q: Can I skip roasting and just stir-fry everything?
Yes, but roasting gives better flavor and texture. Stir-frying alone may release more moisture.
Q: Can I use frozen broccoli or mushrooms?
You can, but roast from frozen at a slightly higher heat (450°F) for better texture.
Q: Can I add other veggies?
Absolutely! Bell peppers, carrots, or snap peas all pair beautifully.
