Delicious Baked Broccoli

A super simple step by step recipe to make a yummy bake broccoli to serve with any dinner!

I quick education about he health benefits found in broccoli:

Vitamin C: which aids iron absorption in the body

folic acid: which helps women sustain normal tissue growth, great for pregnancy

potassium: good for battling high blood pressure

calcium: combat osteoporosis. 

Ok enough with the science and on with the food

 First: use a veggie peeler to take the top layer (rough part) of the broccoli stalk

 Second: Cut Broccoli heads down the center 

 Third: Divide Halves again to create thinner pieces. (Almost like brocolini.. only cheaper lol)  Lay on a flat baking sheet

 Fourth: Toss in Extra Virgin Olive Oil and seasonings. I used basil, garlic powder, garlic salt, and paprika (use any seasonings you like)

Bake in a 400 degree oven for 10-15min. The bottoms will begin to caramelize.

 Flip and cook for an additional 5min.

Brian and I had these two nights in a row. It is super simple and super cheap. Since healthy food tends to be more expensive it is nice to make something at home with lots of nutrients that doesn't break the bank.

This was a super short and to the point blog, but I hope you enjoy it.

What is your favorite easy, healthy side?

Ciao, and tasty veggies
