1 tablespoon maple syrup (or honey)
1 teaspoon rice vinegar

2. Toss broccoli with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 20–25 minutes until edges are crisp.

5. Transfer roasted broccoli to a serving plate. Drizzle with sauce and sprinkle with seasoned breadcrumbs.

The sauce can be made in advance and stored in the fridge for up to 5 days.
