Broccoli Recipe with Soy Sauce
Roasted broccoli is a good vegetable to serve to kids, because the roasting brings out the broccoli's natural sugars. Tossing the broccoli with soy sauce, peanuts and a pinch of red pepper flakes adds an Asian flavor to this broccoli recipe (Click here for larger image).I like using a cast iron skillet for this recipe, because it helps the broccoli brown nicely. If you don't have a cast iron skillet, use a heavy baking sheet.
