Ingredients
- 1.5-2 cups chopped broccoli florets

- 1 Tbsp Nutritional yeast
- 1-2 tsp Black pepper
- 1/4 cup Shredded parmesan, evenly spread

Ingredient Notes
Try to cut the florets into similar-sized pieces so they cook evenly.
Avocado oil works great because of its high smoke point, but olive oil or another favorite cooking oil works too.
Nutritional yeast adds a savory, cheesy flavor while keeping the ingredient list simple. If you’ve never used it before, it’s an easy way to boost flavor in roasted vegetables.
The parmesan helps create those crispy golden bits while adding extra flavor.
