Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Start by washing the broccoli thoroughly under cold running water.
- Cut the broccoli into bite-sized florets if they are not already pre-cut.
- Fill a pot with water and bring it to a boil.
- Once boiling, add the broccoli florets. Cook them for about 4-5 minutes, or until they are bright green and tender-crisp.

- Drizzle the hummus and sesame butter mixture over the broccoli, ensuring an even coating.
- Sprinkle the sesame seeds over the top for added texture and flavor.
- Serve the broccoli with the hummus and sesame seeds immediately while the broccoli is still warm.
Tips:
- For a richer flavor, you can lightly toast the sesame seeds before sprinkling them over the dish.
- Steaming the broccoli helps retain its bright green color and nutritional value. Avoid overcooking to keep it crisp-tender.
- Experiment with different flavors of hummus, such as garlic, roasted red pepper, or spicy varieties, to keep the dish interesting.
- Drizzle a small amount of olive oil over the broccoli for an added layer of flavor and healthy fats.
- If you prefer, you can substitute the sesame butter with tahini for a slightly different taste profile.
