How to Make Nutritional Yeast Broccoli

The process for making this roasted broccoli in the oven is very straightforward, and the ingredient list is simple. Here’s what you’ll need:

• 1 head of Broccoli
• 1 – 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 Tablespoons Nutritional yeast
• ½ Teaspoon Garlic Salt

How to roast the broccoli with nutritional yeast

First preheat an oven to 400°. Then, thoroughly wash the head of broccoli and pat dry.

Chop the broccoli head into broccoli florets by cutting at the base of the smaller stems. Discard the larger stems or you can save them for other recipes, such as for soups. Put the broccoli pieces in a mixing bowl and drizzle them with olive oil.

In a smaller bowl, combine the nutritional yeast and garlic salt and then sprinkle over the broccoli pieces. Use your hands or tongs to toss to coat the broccoli florets evenly with the nutritional yeast seasoning.

Finally, roast the broccoli for about 20 – 25 minutes until the edges start to singe. Serve immediately warm.
