Roasted Broccoli
This is the preparation method that changed my Broccoli-hating husband into one that gobbles them up without any persuasion from me. Before that, he used to only eat them (unknowingly, of course) when I chopped them into an unrecognizable state and added them to Vegetable Noodles or my Tofu Scramble recipe.
This is a simple recipe with just a few ingredients and the oven roasting gives the broccoli a crispy texture that it tastes almost fried.
