Fit Food: The Benefits of Broccoli

Maybe steamed stems aren’t your favorite, but you can kill the mush factor by baking them, instead. Toss with olive oil, kosher salt, fresh-ground pepper, and a bit of parmesan cheese, then place in a single layer on a baking sheet. (Pro tip: For a little extra crunch, top with a sprinkle of breadcrumbs.) Roast at 425 degrees until the florets are crispy and starting to brown, about 25 minutes.
