Roasted Chili & Garlic Broccoli
January 23, 2017    POSTED IN  Recipes

Broccoli is one of the healthiest foods on the planet and with the right preparation it can also be one of the tastiest.

Broccoli contains vitamin C, vitamin A, iron, calcium, fiber and folic acid. It has also been readily studied for its potential to fight cancer.  Certain phytochemicals found in broccoli are believed to have powerful cancer-killing properties. Anti-inflammatory and immune boosting qualities are also thought to be provided by broccoli.
