About this recipe
This simple and easy to make dish is a perfect healthy equivalent to its dairy counterpart. Nutritional yeast provides tangy cheesy flavor without the heaviness of cheese and butter. As many of you know, broccoli is a rich source of multiple vitamins, minerals and fiber. In addition, it contains potent antioxidants and bio-active compounds that help reduce inflammation in our bodies. Nutritional yeast is a great source of vitamin B12, fiber and protein, and is good for your skin and immune system. Adding it to your dishes instead of cheese is a great way to incorporate this powerful supplement into your diet.
Ingredients:
2 cups small broccoli florets
2 Tbsp. coconut oil (I use Kirkland Signature Cold Pressed Unrefined Organic Virgin Coconut Oil)
1/4 cup nutritional yeast (I use Anthony's Premium Nutritional Yeast Flakes)
Pink Himalayan salt to taste (I use Sherpa Pink Gourmet Himalayan Salt, 5 lbs Fine Grain)
Black pepper to taste
