Broccoli that I'll actually eat, and maybe you will too!

So I was watching the Rachael Ray show the other morning and Daphne Oz was a guest, along with Bob Harper from The Biggest Loser, and Shaun T from the Insanity workouts.

It was some fitness day episode, so healthy recipes were featured on the show including Daphne Oz's "pizza" broccoli, which I actually tried.

Her recipe is basically you steam some broccoli florets, then drizzle some olive oil, oregano, crushed red pepper and peccorino romano cheese over top before sticking them in the broiler to get super toasty and melty.

I used frozen florets and added more spices to mine before baking it with the stuffed fish I had for dinner.

Generally, I use the foil pouch method of cooking my frozen veggies when I'm baking them, since for the most part they just steam and suck up any flavoring I shove in the foil pouch.

So in this pizza broccoli pouch, I had about a handful of frozen broccoli florets and six or eight fresh cherry tomatoes.

I seasoned them with crushed red pepper and oregano like in Daphne's recipe but I added onion powder, garlic powder, salt and black pepper and I threw in like a tablespoon of peccorino romano and a pat of butter instead of the olive oil.

I baked it along with my fish according to the fish's directions which were 400 for 15-20 minutes and they came out fantastic.

The pizza broccoli wasn't exactly the best pairing to my crab-stuffed fish, but I really wanted to test out how delicious this broccoli was.

...and it was delicious.

It legitimately tasted like I was eating a slice of broccoli covered pizza, which I'm not opposed to. The addition of the fresh tomatoes was the clincher for me I think. They pretty much oozed out their tomatoey goodness and mixed with the butter and cheese and got everything pretty saucy, which again, I'm not opposed to.

All and all, I'll make it again, I may try it Daphne's way and put them in the broiler and maybe they'll be more of a kale chip texture.

I'll more than likely use the same combo of spices to make some pizza kale chips one of these days.
