Notes
- Please note that nutritional information is provided as a guide only, as ingredients and cooking methods can vary greatly*
- Split the florets with thicker stems into 2 or 3.
- Gradually adding the oil and salt while you toss the broccoli pieces will give you better coverage.
- No slivered almonds? Substitute 1 tablespoon of flaked instead.
