Roasted Parmesan Broccoli

 

By Coach Maria - Salus Nutritionist & Food Expert

 

Vegetables tend to be a boring food subject - boring to talk about, boring to photograph and, if you're eating your vegetables raw or steamed, very boring to eat.

 

I hear the vegetable complaint A LOT:

 

"I don't eat enough vegetables"

"Ugh...vegetables....yuck"

"I'm sick of eating broccoli every day"

 

Guess what?

 

If I was eating raw broccoli every day, I would get tired of it too!

 

The moment I discovered how much better vegetables (any vegetable) taste when you roast them, was the moment I began eating more vegetables - vegetables I wouldn't even eat before roasting!

 

Every time I make this easy recipe, the entire pan's contents are gone fast.

 

Roasting broccoli (or any vegetable!) brings out a great flavor, especially sprinkled with a bit of parmesan.

 

Try this recipe with your favorite raw vegetable!
