Directions
1.
Position a rack in the center of the oven and heat the oven to 450 degrees F.
2.
Put the broccoli, peas, and chiles in a large bowl; toss with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil and 2 tablespoons of the sesame oil. Sprinkle with salt and toss again. Transfer the vegetables to a 10x15-inch Pyrex dish and roast, stirring once, until the peas are lightly browned and the broccoli tops are quite dark in spots, about 22 minutes.
3.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon sesame oil, cilantro, miso, honey, sambal oelek, orange zest, ginger, and garlic. Pour the mixture over the roasted vegetables and toss to coat. Remove the chiles (or leave them in for color but warn diners not to eat them). Serve immediately.
Tip:
Fiery Thai chiles don't mellow when cooked. Their main purpose in this dish is to add a colorful contrast--and some heat.
