For the Plant-Based Fish Fingers
For the Creamy Avocado Dip

1 tbsp lime or lemon juice

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
