Vermont Roasted Broccoli to Boost Immunity

Food has always been fuel. Us thirsty vegans just made it into a delicacy or something to rejoice. Yes, food is delicious but it also should serve a purpose. 

Conscious eating is conscious living. And awareness brings happiness and the ability to fight whatever comes our way. 

On the list of nearly every nutritionist’s list of immunity-boosting ingredients is the mighty green floret queen, broccoli. 

So, here’s a simpler than soup recipe where all you non-cooks can also delightfully prepare it within minutes. I call this a throw-together recipe. These are the ones where I’m most in my element because they require little-to-no skill and mostly just assembly & paying attention to the measurements. 

I choose this right now as we enter a worldwide quarantine. Really, this is the stuff of scifi movies, but at least you have this vegan recipe to warm your hearts and days. Also, listen to this.

• 1 pound broccoli, cut into florets
