Made both for those who love and hate broccoli, this quick snack or entree will bring a smile to your face. Why? Because it is healthy, easy to make and family-friendly. In fact, this is one of those recipes recommended for parents struggling with non-veggie eating kids. Broccoli parmesan sticks are equally as tasty in the vegan version – with nutritional yeast of vegan parmesan if you have it.
This is one of those dishes – snacks, whatever 🙂 – that is a perfect choice when you have some broccoli lying around which is about to go bad. Thanks to the mix of fantastic Provencal spices such as marjoram, thyme and estragon and cheese, these broccoli parmesan sticks are a great, aromatic companion to a glass of white wine.
Speaking of a perfect white wine companion
Savory vegan twisters with capers and fresh rosemary
Originally vegetarian, broccoli parmesan sticks can easily be made as a vegan delight, too. Instead of eggs, I am using flax eggs, so the only ingredients you need to switch is the cheese. Replace it with nutritional yeast or a vegan parmesan, if you can.
This healthy snack is simple to make, yet count on approximately 15 mins of “resting time” before the baking. Now, let’s start the preparation!
