Here's something I saw on Facebook. The author, Roberta Dulay says "it's It is super good - you should try it!" According to MyFitnessPal, roasted broccoli is only 65 calories per cup.

Oven Roasted Broccoli

Preheat oven to 375° Split apart broccoli into bite sized pieces or buy brocoli florets in the bag. Mince 2-3 cloves of garlic Put broccoli, garlic, 1 tbsp. olive oil, and a few shakes of salt and pepper (optional) in a ziploc bag. Shake it up!! Spread out on baking sheet, place on top rack, and bake for about 30 minutes. Broccoli will be crunchy and delicious!

As you know, anything with roasted garlic and olive oil as the key ingredients is going to be delicious! Try this recipe with the vegetable of your choice - brussel sprouts, cauliflower, zucchini, carrots - why not try them all?

C1 Friendly, also PALEO friendly. Try them once you will be hooked!

    When my daughter was 1 (7 years ago) whenever I would prep my roasted broccoli, she'd reach up and steal pieces before I stuck it in the oven. Roasted broccoli was her favorite until this year when she switched to wanting roasted Brussels sprouts every night. Lol

    Love it! I also love adding paprika or crushed chili flakes on broccoli for some heat.

    Finish it off with some roasted pine nuts, parmesan and lemon juice. It's amazing.

    I love roasted veggies! Question with the broccoli... I always feel like I have to add A LOT of oil to the broccoli I intend to roast, because the florets seem to soak it up so fast or the oil doesn't seem to distribute very well (I shake my veggies in a bag with the oil and spices before I roast them).

    Any tips? Will one tablespoon do the job?

    Roasted vegetables are a family favorite. I do this with all different kinds of vegetables - asparagus, cauliflower, brussel sprouts, zucchini and green beans are our favorites. We also cook our vegetables over a campfire using the same basic ingredients. So yummy!

    I usually just put my veggies on the pan, pour on about 1T of olive oil, season, and use my hands to get them coated. I think that would work better than a bag because the excess is on the pan instead of in a bag.

    I like to chop scallion in 1 inch pieces, add in some sliced sun dried tomatoes, and then my asparagus and roast it all together. It's so good!

    I do all of these, but I especially love roasted asparagus with oil, garlic and balsamic vinegar and finished with a bit of fresh parmesan. :smiley:

    I second pine nuts with cauliflower. If you let them roast with it, they're even better. A weird thing I do sometimes when I want protein, chop a boiled egg, salt and pepper, add some olive oil (the stronger the olive oil flavor is the better) then mix it with the roasted cauliflower. Odd combination, but they weirdly go together well.
