Have you cooked frozen vegetables, and they come out watery, mushy, and bland? Fear not! I will share with you the best way I know to cook frozen broccoli. Frozen broccoli can taste delicious–I promise you that. And broccoli is full of health benefits which include anti-cancer properties.
Step 1: Thaw (in the microwave) about 3 cups frozen broccoli in a 9×9 baking dish. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Step 2: Once defrosted, drain excess water and pat dry with a paper towel. (I know, I know some of the vitamins are leached into that water that I just told you to drain, but you will live). Place broccoli in the oven and cook for about 5-7 minutes until heated through. Meanwhile, Grate about 1/2 C- 1 C reduced fat mozzarella and reduced fat sharp cheddar cheese.
Step 3: Drain excess water/pat dry once again. Top broccoli with cheese mixture, salt/pepper to taste, 1 tsp garlic powder, and 1 Tbsp Mrs. Dash garlic and herb seasoning. Broil in oven for up to 5 minutes (keep an eye of the broccoli and remove when it looks slightly crispy).
Step 4: Eat your veggies!
People do usually prefer to go for fresh broccoli. But honestly there is nothing better than to take the broccoli out from the freezer and cook it up and eat it while its hot.
