Broccoli has gotten a bad rap in the diet world. People are just so sick of eating steamed broccoli. Instead of steaming, roast it with some garlic and Parmesan, which give it a new life and take eating it from a chore to a delight. From The Most Decadent Diet Ever cookbook by Devin Alexander, author of The Biggest Loser Cookbook. Ingredients:
1 lb about 6 1/2 cups broccoli floret |
2 tablespoons grated reduced-fat parmesan cheese |
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley |
1 teaspoon chopped fresh parsley |
1 teaspoon garlic powder |
1/4 teaspoon black pepper |
salt |
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional) |
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil |
1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil |
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 425°F.
2. Trim the broccoli, leaving about 1/2 inch of stem attached to the florets.
3. Toss the broccoli in a large bowl with the Parmesan, parsley, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt to taste.
4. Toss in the red pepper flakes, if using.
5. Drizzle with olive oil and toss again until all of the florets are thoroughly coated.
6. Transfer to a medium nonstick baking sheet an bake for 10 minutes.
7. Then toss the broccoli again and bake for another 5 to 7 minutes, or until the florets are lightly browned and tender.
8. Serve immediately.
