Nutritional Information

Tahini is a smooth, creamy paste made from ground sesame seeds, and it’s loaded with nutrients. Sesame seeds are packed with polyunsaturated fats, plant-based protein, vitamin E, and compounds called lignans. Research shows tahini has some impressive benefits, including antioxidant effects and support for healthy blood pressure, cholesterol levels, and even appetite regulation. One study even found that tahini may help lower blood pressure and heart rate while supporting blood vessel function, making it a heart-healthy fat worth adding to your plate.

  2. Coat the broccoli florets in 2 tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil. 
  3. Place the crisper plate into the air fryer basket. 
  4. Select the Preheat function, adjust temperature to 425°F, then tap Start/Pause.  
  5. Place the florets onto the preheated crisper plate.

MAKING THE SOUP: 

  1. Heat the sauce pot with 1 tablespoon of extra-virgin olive oil. 
  2. Add the onions and garlic, then cook until the onions have softened. Add the vegetable broth, room temperature water, florets, and nutritional yeast. Continue cooking for 10 minutes or until the florets are fork tender. Let cool slightly. 
  3. Blend with the immersion blender or high-speed blender until smooth. 
  4. Heat the mixture over low heat on the stove, then season with salt and pepper to taste.  
  5. Whisk together the cold water, lemon zest, lemon juice, and tahini paste until smooth.
  6. Assemble by ladling broccoli soup into the bowl, drizzle with lemon tahini sauce, and garnish with chives. Serve with warm pita bread.
