Chef's Note

Adding the raw mustard seed powder to the warm dressing reintroduces the active myrosinase enzyme that was destroyed during roasting. Letting the dressed salad rest for a few minutes before eating ensures the chemical reaction fully takes place, maximizing the sulforaphane content of your meal!

Ingredients
  • 4 cups broccoli florets, cut into bite-sized pieces

  • 1 can (15 oz) canned chickpeas, drained and rinsed

  • 2 tbsp olive oil

  • 3/4 tsp salt

  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

  • 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

  • 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice

  • 1/2 tsp raw ground mustard seed powder

  • 1 clove garlic, minced

  • 1 tsp pure maple syrup

  • 1/4 cup toasted sliced almonds

Instructions
  • 1

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

  • 2

    In a large bowl, toss the broccoli florets and drained chickpeas with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper.

  • 3

    Spread the broccoli and chickpeas in a single, even layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast for 18 to 20 minutes, tossing halfway through, until the broccoli edges are lightly browned and tender-crisp.

  • 4

    While roasting, prepare the enzyme-activating dressing: whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, fresh lemon juice, raw ground mustard seed powder, minced garlic, maple syrup, and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon of salt in a small bowl.

  • 5

    Transfer the warm roasted broccoli and chickpeas to a serving bowl.

  • 6

    Pour the mustard-lemon vinaigrette over the warm salad and toss thoroughly to coat. Let the salad rest for 3 minutes to allow the raw mustard seed's myrosinase to reactivate the broccoli's health compounds.

  • 7

    Garnish with toasted sliced almonds and serve warm.
