Whenever you order veggies at a restaurant, they always seem to taste much better. That’s probably because of all the oil and salt they add to the dish. However, this roasted broccoli recipe will blow all other recipes out of the water.

The “secret” to making these taste so good is almond flour and pink salt. Many recipes use Parmesan cheese, but this combination tastes so much better and doesn’t include the excess fat and sodium.

Here’s just some of the health benefits of broccoli:

  • It supports the body’s natural detoxification processes.
  • It’s a good source of fiber. One cup delivers 9% of the recommended daily intake of fiber.
  • It’s high in Vitamin C. One cup delivers 135% of the recommended daily intake of Vitamin C, which supports the immune system and wrinkle-resistant skin.
  • It’s being studied for its anticancer potential.

Without further ado, here’s the recipe:
