Veggies are still PCOS-friendly when you add a little crunchy roasting to the prep.
Simple Oven-Roasted Broccoli
Description
You need your veggies. Try to get 2 cups with every meal or at least lunch and dinner. Not just for the vitamins, but also for satiety. You are much less likely to reach for the wrong food when you're stuffed to the gills with low-calorie vegetables. Not being hungry helps you lose weight, so get used to stuffing your mouth with roasted goodness like this broccoli.
Ingredients
Instructions
-
Heat oven to 400°F / 204°C. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or grease with cooking spray.
-
Spread the broccoli out evenly on the baking sheet. Then drizzle with the olive oil (of better yet spritz to avoid using too much), and sprinkle evenly with the salt, pepper and garlic powder. Toss gently to evenly coat the broccoli.
-
Bake for 25-30 minutes, until soft and lightly golden.
-
Serve immediately.
