Current Obsession: Broccoli



Is eating too much broccoli bad for you? Or is it oh so good. My new favorite snack that I've been devouring almost daily is Roasted Broccoli. I know, even broccoli lovers will think it can't be that good, but I swear it is. You just have to try it this way.

Simply slice the tops off the broccoli stalks and give a quick chop to any extra-large florets, toss it on a cookie sheet and give it a spritz of cooking spray. Now salt it up! I like these really really salty, like movie popcorn, and sometimes I add a pre-made grill seasoning to it, like roasted garlic and herb, whatever you have on hand. Now pop it in the oven, set the temp to 500, and check back in 20 minutes or so to give it a stir. I know its ready when the tops have gotten all brown and crunchy and the florets have shrunk up considerably.


Mmmm salty toasty goodness!! I've been eating this as an afternoon or evening snack- when the chips beckon, reach for the green.
