If you check out recipes on Pinterest, you probably have come across this pin. Labeled with things such as "Best Broccoli Ever", I had to try it. Then I saw it! 5-6 Tbsp of oil?!? I don't think so! What's the point of that?
Here's a trick! Get a large gallon Ziploc bag, and coat the broccoli in oil in that! It will evenly coat and you won't clog your arteries with massive amounts of oil while trying to eat a vegetable!
1 large head of broccoli, cut
2 Tbsp olive oil
1 Tsp mixed up salt
1/2 tsp mixed up pepper
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/3 cup Parmesan cheese
zest and juice from 1 lemon
2 Tbsp olive oil
1 Tsp mixed up salt
1/2 tsp mixed up pepper
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/3 cup Parmesan cheese
zest and juice from 1 lemon
Recipe Adapted from The Gingered Whisk
Using the above Ziploc bag method, mix broccoli with oil and garlic. Lay out on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper and sprinkle with mixed up salt and pepper. Roast in a 425 degree oven for 20-25 minutes. Remove from the oven and toss to mix it up. Squeeze the lemon juice on top and then disperse the lemon zest evenly over broccoli. Sprinkle evenly with the Parmesan cheese. Roast an additional 2-3 minutes, until fragrant.
Jen I roast all my vegetables I put them on a cookie sheet a little olive oil salt and pepper then roast at 425 degress oven I also do tomatos after they have roast when hot then I had cheese it is lighter this way
ReplyDeleteYeah, I'm not sure why anyone would even bother to eat vegetables with 5-6 Tbsps of oil! At 120 calories each, I cut almost 1000 calories from that recipe. I usually don't cook with oil but I'm loving my Misto! Have you seen them? It's a great thing to have and surely cuts down on oil.
DeleteI have seen the Misto, but I just eyeball the olive oil it usually comes out about l 1/2 tbsps that I use
ReplyDeleteI love mine! Can't beat it for $10. It still uses far less than that even. It's like 10 calories per spray!
