Roasted Broccoli

I used to be one of many people that the only vegetables I ate were green beans, corn, peas, and occasionally carrots & lima beans.  But over the past few months, I have started trying some new ways of preparing veggies.  I have found our new favorite way for broccoli (before I used to steer away from broccoli because steaming it just gets old after a while).  It is so tasty and yummy that honestly I will say that no matter how hot it is this summer the oven will be turned on for this.

Hope you enjoy it as well!

Oven Roasted Broccoli

Ingredients:
Broccoli Crowns, cut from stalk (I usually use about 2lbs., but use as much or little as you want)
Drizzle of Extra Virgin Olive Oil OR Coconut Oil

Sea Salt
Black Pepper
Chili Powder
Paprika
Garlic Powder (optional)
Shredded Fresh Parmesan Cheese

Directions:
-  Pre-heat your oven to 400 degrees.
-  Cut the broccoli flowers from the stalks and spread in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet.
-  Drizzle the oil of your choice over.
-  Sprinkle as much or as little as you want of the salt, pepper, chili powder, paprika and garlic powder.
-  Then gently stir the broccoli around to make sure everything is coated.
-  Place in the pre-heated oven and bake for about 20-30 minutes, until the broccoli is soft,
-  Once the broccoli is cooked, remove from the oven and sprinkle the parmesan cheese over.  Stir the broccoli and allow the cheese to melt.

ENJOY!!!!!
