Method

1

Cut broccoli into 1.5-inch florets and pat chickpeas dry with a clean towel. Slice red onion thinly and dice bell pepper; halve cherry tomatoes.

2

Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over high heat until shimmering. Add broccoli in a single layer and cook without stirring for 4–5 minutes until the bottom is deeply charred.

3

Stir and continue cooking for another 3–4 minutes until tender-crisp and spotted brown. Transfer to a large bowl.

4

Return skillet to high heat with remaining 2 tbsp oil. Add chickpeas in a single layer and cook 5–6 minutes, shaking the pan occasionally, until golden and crispy at the edges. Transfer to the bowl with broccoli.

5

Add red onion, bell pepper, cherry tomatoes, parsley, and minced garlic to the warm broccoli and chickpeas. Drizzle with tahini-lemon dressing and toss gently to coat.

6

Transfer to a serving platter. Sprinkle toasted sesame seeds over the top and serve warm or at room temperature.
