Healthy Easy & Delicious Sriracha Roasted Broccoli
Unfortunately, I am still feeling under the weather. This nasty cold I've had for the past 6 weeks apparently really likes hanging out with me because I can't get rid of it.
Since it's ideal to eat healthy while sick, I'm trying to put as many nutrient dense foods in my body as I can, including eating a lot of fresh vegetables.
During the winter months, I use my oven a lot and I'm roasting everything I can get my little hands on, especially veggies. I love oven roasting them because it's quick, super easy, and they stay tender crisp. Broccoli, cauliflower, sweet potatoes, winter squashes, and kale are what's in-season so it's what I use the most.
I also tend to be a little boring and normally just season with salt and pepper, but lately I've been on a spicy food kick, so I decided to do a spicy broccoli recipe.
Plus, chili peppers have been used for hundreds of years to help fight illness and colds, so I have high hopes the capsaicin will eventually knock this head cold out of me soon.
After spying my fish sauce bottle next to the Sriracha, I imagined what the flavors would be like if I mixed the two together and roasted some broccoli in it. I know a lot of people might be turned off by using fish sauce, but I use it to replace salt in many recipes.
It's also pretty common place now and grocery stores even carry it in stock, so it's easy to find. A little tip thou: always read the fish sauce label and make sure there are only have two ingredients in that bottle: anchovies and salt.
