Let’s face it, broccoli is one of those veggies that is incredibly healthy. Many of us get stuck on how to prepare it in order to make it more appealing to our families, especially some of the little ones who do not want to see greens on their plates. This is one way that is simple enough to prepare and tastes better than the plain old steamed version.
