Popcorn Broccoli (Video)
Salt, pepper, olive oil and garlic. This, my friends, is a winning combination that will never let you down.
Which I why this simple combination paired with roasted broccoli is a go-to side dish in our house.
It’s quick.
It’s simple.
And yes…
it just so happens to be nutritious.
My three favorite adjectives when it comes to cooking (excluding the most obvious, which would be delicious!).
This has become one of my favorite ways to make broccoli and often times I’ll just make a big bowl and eat it as a snack.
With my fingers.
Which is why I call it Popcorn Broccoli.
Enjoy!

Yum. I make this at home as well and even do it with cauliflower. BTW, if your son doesn’t devour his chubby little fist, I’m going to fly over there and do it myself. How cute is he????
Just made this and I am in love! I cannot thank you enough for your videos and recipes. I have always enjoyed eating healthy, but my husband prefers ‘greasy goodness’. I had him try a few of your dishes and now he will willingly eat the healthy meals I prepare from you site. Keep it up, Dani!
This is a go-to dish in my household as well. I haven’t tried adding parm, though, and will try it out tonight!
I can’t believe your baby is already 9 months old. So cute!
I make this all the time, it’s a huge favorite at our house. I’ve never tried it with parmesan though, I’ll try that next time.
