Here I am, back with a broccoli recipe. Some of you suggested roasting it, so we did.

Broccoli is tossed in cayenne (because its cold outside), garlic, salt and oil and roasted until crisp. Served with a creamy basil cashew dressing, or serve with lemon juice + nutritional yeast. Hubbs really loved the basil cream and roasted broccoli. He finished up the entire serving! He definitely loves his broccoli. I love this dressing! and I like it with the broccoli (minus all the exclamation like hubbs), but I’d rather serve it with a spicy crispy cauliflower 🙂 . Baby steps towards embracing the Broccoli.
