AIP Friendly Garlic-Rosemary Roasted Broccoli Bites
Roasting broccoli at high heat on a preheated pan is the kind of technique that turns a humble vegetable into something genuinely craveable — deeply browned edges, tender stems, and crispy little florets that practically disappear off the plate. The combination of minced garlic, fresh rosemary, and a whisper of turmeric gives each bite a savory, aromatic punch that feels anything but plain. A finishing squeeze of lemon juice brightens the whole dish and keeps it feeling fresh right out of the oven. For anyone navigating the autoimmune protocol, finding side dishes that are both compliant and actually exciting can be a real challenge. This one checks every box — no grains, no nightshades, no dairy, no eggs, just whole-food ingredients that work together beautifully. The olive oil helps the florets caramelize without any need for butter or seed oils, and every seasoning here is straightforward and easy to verify. It serves four, making it a solid weeknight side or a meal-prep staple you'll want on repeat.
