Prep and cook time: 20 minutes Serves 4
2 bunches broccolini (1 pound)
2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon toasted white sesame seeds
½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes plus more to taste
2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon avocado oil
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
ground black pepper
sea salt
Cook broccolini in a large pot of salted boiling water until crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl of ice water. Drain and dry well. Cut broccolini in half, if desired. Place in a large bowl.
Finely chop 2 tablespoons sesame seeds and ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes in a spice grinder (or finely chop with a knife). Transfer to a small bowl; stir in avocado oil, vinegar, and garlic. Season with salt and pepper. Drizzle over broccolini; toss to coat. Transfer to a platter; sprinkle with remaining 1 teaspoon sesame seeds and sesame oil.
