I eat lots of veggies. I try to eat plenty of them raw, because you don't lose any vitamins or enzymes that way. I know how good my body feels when I eat lots of raw foods. But sometimes I just have to roast them. They caramelize into such delectable goodness! Broccoli is no exception. It's great with just olive oil and garlic, but I have tons of fresh basil in my garden, so this is another good way to use it. And pine nuts pair very well with this.
