   • Wash the broccoli thoroughly, discarding any tough leaves and the hardest part of the stem.
   • Blanch the entire head of broccoli in boiling water for one minute, then immediately rinse under cold water.
   • Break off the florets and cut the remaining stem (peeled, if desired) into 2-inch pieces.

2. Roast Broccoli:

   • Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).
   • Pour olive oil onto a baking sheet and spread it evenly.
   • Place the broccoli pieces on the baking sheet in a single layer, turning to coat them with the olive oil.
   • Roast the broccoli at 450°F (230°C) for about 5 minutes. Then, turn the broccoli pieces over and continue roasting for another 5 minutes or until the broccoli starts to brown.

3. Prepare Sesame Dressing:

   • In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil until well combined.
   • Stir in 3 tablespoons of sesame seeds into the dressing.

4. Combine and Serve:

   • Once the broccoli is roasted to your desired doneness, transfer it to a large serving bowl.
   • Pour the prepared sesame dressing over the roasted broccoli, stirring gently to coat all pieces evenly.
   • Sprinkle the remaining tablespoon of sesame seeds over the salad.
   • Serve the Roasted Broccoli Sesame Salad warm or at room temperature as a flavorful side dish or light main course.
