Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a small bowl, combine 3 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of brown sugar, 2 teaspoons of sesame oil, 1 teaspoon of vinegar, and 1 teaspoon of chili sauce. Mix well until the sugar is dissolved and all ingredients are thoroughly combined.

- Mince the garlic cloves and add them to the bowl with the carrots and broccoli.
- Pour the prepared sauce over the vegetables and toss them until well coated.
- Spread the coated vegetables evenly on a large baking sheet, ensuring they are in a single layer for even roasting.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 20-25 minutes or until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized. Stir halfway through the roasting time to ensure even cooking.
- In the last 5 minutes of roasting, sprinkle 2 teaspoons of sesame seeds over the vegetables and return to the oven.
- Once roasted to perfection, remove the vegetables from the oven and transfer them to a serving dish.
- Serve warm as a delicious side dish or a light main course.
Tips:
- Cut the carrots and broccoli into even-sized pieces to ensure they cook evenly.
- If you prefer a spicier dish, increase the amount of chili sauce.
- Lining your baking sheet with parchment paper can make for an easier cleanup.
