The broccoli stalk is just as delicious and nutritious as the florets. Roast it at a super-high temperature for best results.

Ingredients
- 400g/14oz broccoli (1 large head, with as long a stalk as you can find)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tbsp toasted mixed seeds, to serve (optional)
For the sauce (optional)
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp maple syrup or runny honey
- 1 tsp sesame oil
Method
Heat the oven to 240C/220C Fan/Gas 9. Make sure the broccoli is totally dry before starting. Trim the base, peel the tough outer layer from the bottom of the stalk and cut the stalk into long spears or bite-sized pieces.
Toss the broccoli florets and stalk spears on a baking tray with the olive oil, salt and black pepper. Transfer to the oven and roast on the top shelf for 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, combine the sauce ingredients in a small bowl. After the broccoli is cooked, drizzle the sauce on top and sprinkle with the seeds to serve.
