Ingredients

Broccoli florets: Either fresh or frozen broccoli works, but if you’re using frozen, be sure to thaw it before putting it in the oven. Broccoli is a superfood high in fiber and protective antioxidants.
Low-sodium tamari: Adds a mellow umami flavor and helps the powdery seasonings stick to the broccoli. Tamari tastes similar to soy sauce and is typically gluten-free (but check the label make sure).
Nutritional yeast: A yellow, flaky seasoning that adds savory notes to any dish. Nutritional yeast is high in B vitamins.
Onion powder: Adds savory flavor. Benefits include supporting the immune and cardiovascular systems.
Garlic powder: Boosts flavor and contributes heart-healthy benefits.
Freshly cracked black pepper: To taste.
