Roasted Broccoli

As normal I spent part of my afternoon watching Food Network. I’m really digging Melissa’s new show. Today she made roasted broccoli with cheese that looked so delicious I had to try it for myself.

Recipe:

3 cups raw broccoli

2 tspn olive oil

2 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp salt

1 tsp black pepper

1/2 cup fat free shredded cheddar cheese

Preheat oven to 450. Combine the garlic powder, salt, pepper and oil in a bowl. Toss broccoli in the oil and lay flat on baking sheet. Spray broccoli with a few spritzes of Pam so it gets nice and brown in the oven. Roast the broccoli for about 10 minutes. Turn the broccoli and cook for another 2-3 minutes. Top with cheddar cheese. Put back into the oven for about 5 minutes (just until the cheese is gooey and the broccoli looks crisp). Makes two servings.

I served the broccoli alongside a chicken parm I assembled with light tomato sauce, low-fat mozzarella cheese and a purdue light ‘n fit chicken breast. All together this meal was 6.5 points. It included all the right proteins and veggies my nutritionist told me to eat! Yummy.
