As conscious as we are in my family about eating healthy, I am ashamed to admit that it is still a struggle even for me to get the recommended amount of vegetables in a day. It’s even harder for my kiddos, so that’s why recipes like this make me happy. Anytime you can make broccoli taste this good while also making it a super kid-friendly finger food is a big WIN in my book. My whole crew gave it two thumbs up. This one’s a keeper. Thanks Celia!
