In an attempt to keep my veggies healthy, I used to steam my broccoli. And although that is yummy, its just basic broccoli. It lacked...umph. This recipe is the best broccoli I have ever tasted, and provided I have 20 minutes and an available oven to cook it, this is my new go-to option.
First you line a cookie sheet with foil. (Easy clean-up!!) Then you cut up your broccoli, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt and paper. That's it. And it goes in the oven.
Once it comes out it is just a tad crispy and cooked to perfection.
You sprinkle a little parmesan cheese on top and its ready to serve. I personally prefer it with freshly grated parmesan, but today Kraft grated parmesan had to do.
Now here's the big question: did my kids like it? It is broccoli after all, folks. My kids don't like broccoli, but because I make them eat it, they have learned to choke it down. In fact, my husband told them once that eating broccoli helps you to fight off cancer (I have no idea if this is really true.) So when my kids eat broccoli, they hold up the broccoli to their mouth, and in their best super hero voice, they say, "Die, Cancer!" and eat their broccoli. They've been doing this for years. Its quite amusing and apparently helps the broccoli go down a little easier.
But this broccoli recipe is a little different. They still say, "Die, Cancer!" but two of the three actually enjoy the broccoli. Yes, I said "enjoy".
Can't please them all when it comes to veggies, I guess. Two out of three will just have to do. Now go kill some cancer and make this recipe.
