Roasted Broccoli with Parmesan and Yogurt

Another one that can be enjoyed by both mommy and baby!


A head of broccoli
1 tsp of finely shredded parmesano regiano or pecorino romano
1 tsp of  extra virgin olive oil plus another one
Baby Yogurt (I used Organic Banana Yogurt)


Cut the broccoli in small pieces (I cut the big florets in four). Discard the woody stem part of the broccoli (usually the very end) but the rest of the stems are still good so don't throw it away! In a shallow baking pan, I divided the broccoli in half (half for the grown ups and half for the baby). Add salt to taste to the half for the adults and about a drizzle of olive oil. I'm bad with measurements so please add to your discretion. For the baby portion, just add olive oil (a tsp or so). 
Cook for about 15 min or until tender but still with a bite. 
Sprinkle the adult portion with cheese and enjoy.
For the baby portion, place broccoli in a food processor or blender, add another tsp of olive oil, as well, as the cheese and process. 
My little one seems to enjoy his food when there is something creamy in it, so I added organic banana yogurt. I thought it would taste "funny" but it was actually quite good! It tasted almost like  greek tzatziki  sauce. Hmmm...there's an idea! 

Some things I like to freeze in smaller portions to make it easier to combine with different purees or ingredients (i.e. pasta, quinoa, etc). 
This freezes for up to 3 months.
