KETO RECIPE: Roasted Garlic Broccoli With Almonds


I never liked broccoli as a kid, probably because my mom never roasted it! I’m convinced that roasting is the key to making any vegetables delicious. This recipe has all kinds of amazing flavors mixed in, but the garlic and sliced almonds are my favorite parts! This is a great side dish for the holidays or any time of year.
