Julie Morris is a Los Angeles-based healthy food chef, writer, and advocate of whole, plant-based foods and superfoods for optimal health. Her entertaining, fact-filled articles on nutrition, recipes, food politics, and natural living have appeared in various publications, as well as on her own eco-friendly website, www.juliemorris.net. Along with her web-based cooking show, “Super Foods With Jules,” I like to serve this recipe “as is” (uncooked), enjoying the maximum nutritional potential of these great superfoods. If you’re craving a warm dish though, no worries — simply steam the florets lightly for a few minutes, then combine with the sauce. Either way, the delicious cheesy flavor and addictive broccoli crunch will have you coming back for a healthy second round every time.

Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
  • 1 teaspoon Braggs Liquid Aminos (can substitute soy sauce, wheat-free tamari, or soy-free coconut aminos)
  • 2 tablespoon raw tahini
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil, melted
  • 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast
  • ¼ teaspoon paprika
  • ⅛ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1½ teaspoon lemon juice
  • 3 cups finely chopped fresh broccoli florets
  • 1 or 2 tablespoons hemp seeds
  • water, if desired
Instructions
  1. Stir: In a small bowl, mix the nutritional yeast, paprika, and garlic powder together. Stir in the tahini. Pour in the Braggs, lemon juice, and coconut oil and whisk thoroughly. If a thinner sauce is desired, add a little water, a tablespoon at a time.
  2. Combine: Put the broccoli into a larger bowl and pour sauce on top. Toss until evenly coated (for best results, use your hands!) Sprinkle top with hemp seeds and serve. Keeps refrigerated for several days.
