We recently came across this recipe from Dr. Gundry that we wanted to share.
Broccoli is filled with beneficial minerals and vitamins that help support your immune system including vitamin C which is very important this time of year.
Broccoli also contains prebiotic fiber for good gut balance for fewer cravings, smoother digestion, and more energy.
Garlic contains a compound called allicin which is thermogenic to raise your metabolism and body temperature.
The perfect comfort combo for rainy days and cold nights.
Dr. Gundry’s Cheesy Roast Broccoli
Ingredients (Serves 4)
4 cups broccoli florets (or 1 head broccoli, chopped)
¼ cup extra virgin olive oil, divided
2 cloves garlic, minced
¼ tsp garlic powder
¼ tsp ground black pepper
½ tsp iodized sea salt
Zest of 1 lemon
¼ cup grated parmesan cheese or nutritional yeast
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400.
Toss broccoli and HALF the olive oil together, and spread into a single layer on a sheet tray.
Bake for 5-10 minutes, until broccoli is tender, and beginning to brown around the edges.
Meanwhile, combine remaining oil with garlic, garlic powder, pepper, salt, lemon zest, and cheese/yeast.
When broccoli is tender, remove from oven and drizzle with the garlic mixture.
Stir, to flip broccoli pieces and combine well.
Return to oven for an additional 2-3 minutes, until garlic is tender and cheese (if using) is melted.
Serve hot or room temperature.
