Roasted Broccoli Sprouts with Parmesan
Roasted broccoli sprouts are a simple yet delicious side dish that can be enjoyed as part of a healthy meal. They are easy to make and can be roasted in the oven or on the stovetop. The sprouts are tossed in olive oil, Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper before being roasted until tender and slightly browned.
Broccoli sprouts are a relatively new vegetable that has become increasingly popular in recent years. They are the sprouts of the broccoli plant, and they are packed with nutrients, including vitamins A, C, and K, as well as fiber and antioxidants. Broccoli sprouts have a slightly bitter taste, but when they are roasted, the bitterness mellows out and the sprouts become slightly sweet. Roasting broccoli sprouts also helps to concentrate their flavor and make them more tender.
