Roasted broccoli with pumpkin seeds

Hello munkies! Here's another super simple and nutritious snack, and my favourite way to prepare broccoli. I'm definitely an advocate of steamed broccoli - but roasting it now again is just that little bit more special.. and it's delicious! I love the crunch you get from the pumpkin seeds - not to mention that roasted pumpkin seeds are OUT OF THIS WORLD. Little roasted tasty, crunchy, seed goodness. Trust me, if you can spare the time & a little effort, you won't want broccoli any other way once you've tried it roasted.. sorry steamer!


INGREDIENTS:

1 head of broccoli
1/3 cup of pumpkin seeds
1 tsp fennel seeds (optional but yummy)
Salt to taste
Pepper to taste
Extra virgin olive oil or coconut oil or ghee for drizzling

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Preheat the oven to gas mark 6.
2. Chop the broccoli in to florets.
3. Place in a bowl & lightly drizzle with extra virgin olive oil.
4. Use a spoon to mix the broccoli around in order to evenly distribute the olive oil.
5. Add salt & pepper to taste, as well as fennel seeds (optional) & the pumpkin seeds.
6. Mix the contents in the bowl again.
7. Line a baking tray with some baking paper.
8. Spoon the contents of the bowl on to the baking tray & spread out evenly.
9. Allow to roast between 25-30 minutes.
10. Remove the baking tray from the oven & set aside to cool.
11. Eat!

Enjoy munkies! :)
