Roasted Broccoli With Peanuts

I am always looking for simple ways to make veggies taste good! The original recipe was way to complicated so I shortened it up! This was a winner and the extra step was worth the added flavor and nutrition.

ROASTED BROCCOLI WITH PEANUTS

Pre-heat the oven to 450 degrees.
1 large bunch of Broccoli or half of a large bag pre cut broccoli ( **I buy the big bag already cut at Wegmans by the lettuce. The cost per pound is CHEAPER and it’s already cut**)
3 tbsp. Avocado Oil.
2 tbsp. Rice Vinegar.
Salt and Pepper to taste.
Toss all together on a cookie sheet. Roast for 15-20 minutes.
Meanwhile while the broccoli is Roasting
Combine in a saute pan:
1/4 cup Peanuts.
1 tsp. sugar.
2 tablespoons Nutritional yeast or Brewers Yeast.
Saute this until nice a toasty- About 4-5 minutes
Thinly slice 4 scallions.
When the Roasted broccoli is done sprinkle with the toasted nuts and top with scallions.

I hope you enjoy!

For those of you who aren’t familiar with nutritional yeast (I wasn’t until I had Anna and the midwife recommended it). It has a nutty taste and when sprinkled on top of veg, salads and soups it adds a parmesan cheese like flavor.  It is a significant source of some B-complex vitamins, and contains trace amounts of several other vitamins and minerals. Most nutritional yeast is fortified with vitamin B12 and has a large percentage or your daily needs!
