Today’s Healthy Holiday Tip…
Another holiday favorite is that old standby, the green bean casserole with fried onion on top! Healthy? Not quite!
Let's start by substituting the typical canned green bean ingredient with a healthier fresh choice- broccoli!
Heat the oven to 500' and place an empty baking sheet inside.
Meanwhile, cut raw broccoli into even wedges and toss with olive oil, a pinch of salt and pepper. After the oven is hot- place the broccoli right onto the baking sheets and cook for 10 minutes. The veg will have developed a nice crunch all on its own so you'll enjoy great texture, WITHOUT the hydrogenated oil or fat!
