I like all kinds of veggies; however, broccoli has got to be near the top of the list. Stovetop, baked, cooked, or served raw on a veggie platter with dips, you just cannot beat it. This recipe is baked in a cast iron pan and gives you two yummy ways to spice it up. This stuff is good enough to grab a fork and just eat it out of the skillet as soon as it comes out of the oven. So, you ready…Let’s get into the kitchen.
