    Broccoli seems to be the type of vegetable that you either love or hate. Personally, it is one of my favorite vegetables but I do think it is often cooked poorly. However, this Bang Bang Broccoli (vegan) is perfect even if you don't like broccoli. It gets crisped up in the oven and emulsified with a tasty sauce.

    This bang bang broccoli is shockingly good. It's also vegan and gluten and has the option to be made nut free if you swap out the cashew butter for tahini. I used chickpea flour to add some extra protein to this recipe and it made for a very satisfying meal. This bang bang broccoli goes great with rice but I could also see it tasting good in a salad or even as a side to tofu!

    Although this recipe does require a few steps, it is so worth it. The double baking portion really crisps up the broccoli and locks in flavor.
