Keto Roasted Frozen Broccoli with Tahini Sauce

This simple Keto recipe is a great way to utilize frozen broccoli. Our low carb side dish is prepared with frozen broccoli florets that are oven-roasted in oil and simply seasoned, then served with a tahini sauce with a hint of lemon and garlic. This makes a great side to accompany roasted or grilled meats.

Do I Need to Thaw the Broccoli?

We have used frozen broccoli in our low carb side recipe for convenience and ease. Having some low carb vegetables to hand in your freezer can be a great kitchen staple, perfect for adding bulk and fiber to your Keto meals. You do not need to thaw the broccoli prior to cooking; it can simply be seasoned and cooked from frozen. You could also use alternative low carb vegetables if preferred, such as cauliflower. Please be sure to adjust your macros to account for any changes made to the recipe.

Serving Suggestions

This simple roasted broccoli is perfect served as a side to cooked meats, fish, or a plant based low carb main. The recipe would make a great addition to a Keto Sunday roast lunch served with whole cooked chicken or roasted lamb. It would also be a great addition to a Middle Eastern inspired meal, and you could even make extra tahini sauce to serve over your mains and additional sides.

    This was delicious though the portion sizes were very small after cooking; I ended up having two. Cooked the broccoli in my air fryer for 7 min at 360.
