Ingredients

For the Roasted Broccoli

• 1 head broccoli, cut into medium florets

• 1 tbsp olive oil for greasing

• 2 tbsp olive oil for seasoning

• 1/2 tsp dried oregano

• 1/4 tsp paprika

• Salt and black pepper to taste

• 2–3 tbsp breadcrumbs

For the Plant-Based Fish Fingers

• 5–6 Wanted Vegan Plant-Based Fish Fingers

For the Creamy Avocado Dip

• 1–2 ripe avocados

• 1 tbsp lime or lemon juice

• Salt and pepper to taste

• Optional: 1–2 blanched broccoli florets or a handful of spinach

For Garnish

• Sesame seeds

Method

Step 1: Prepare the Broccoli

Preheat your oven to 200°C. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and blanch the broccoli florets for 2–3 minutes until slightly tender. Drain thoroughly and pat dry.

Step 2: Arrange and Flatten

Lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil and arrange the broccoli florets in a single layer. Using the bottom of a glass or cup, gently flatten each floret to create more surface area for crisping.

Step 3: Season the Broccoli

Mix olive oil, oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Brush the mixture over the broccoli and sprinkle evenly with breadcrumbs.

Step 4: Roast Until Crispy

Bake the broccoli for 15–20 minutes until golden brown around the edges and beautifully crisp.

Step 5: Bake the Plant-Based Fish Fingers

While the broccoli is roasting, arrange the Wanted Vegan Plant-Based Fish Fingers on a baking tray and cook according to package instructions until golden and heated through.

Step 6: Make the Avocado Dip

Blend the avocado, lime juice, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy. For extra colour and nutrition, add a few blanched broccoli florets or fresh spinach before blending.

Step 7: Assemble and Serve

Spread the creamy avocado dip onto a serving plate. Arrange the crispy roasted broccoli and golden plant-based fish fingers on top. Finish with a sprinkle of sesame seeds and serve immediately.

Serving Suggestions
