Is broccoli really still enemy No.1 on the childhood dinner menu?

The vegetable is wrapped up in such negative connotations that putting it on a child’s plate is signing up for a fight.

Broccoli is dense with vitamins K, A, C, and E, B vitamins, omega 3s , iron, zinc, calcium, and folate, and magnesium.

Roasting broccoli reduces methanethiol, a sulfurous compound, and increases furans.

Roasting brings out the vegetable’s natural sweetness and minimizes its gassy smell.

Some parents told me their kids like it best sautéed with garlic, or on pizza; others, in soup made rich and creamy.

So crank your oven and get roasting! If your fussy little eaters aren’t already on this train, I have a feeling you’ll find them transformed into broccoli fanatics in no time..
