This oven-roasted broccoli is a quick & easy Mediterranean-style side dish. This cooking technique makes the broccoli crisp-tender and keeps it full of flavour. It makes a great side to meat, especially chicken and fish.

I changed the way I ate in 2011, when I was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s, an autoimmune disease that affects the thyroid. I had no energy, and I found it more and more difficult to maintain a healthy weight.

That’s when I decided to quit sugar, grains, and processed foods, and to start following a whole-foods-based ketogenic approach to food.
