I’m so happy to have discovered the joy of slow cooker roasted broccoli before things heat up again here.
While it’s not a problem to turn my oven on right now, it will be soon enough.
But thanks to the slow cooker, we’ll be able to indulge in roasted vegetables all summer long without turning on the oven and heating up the house!
Skinny on Slow Cooker Roasted Broccoli
This recipe for slow cooker roasted broccoli would work with most any vegetable or combination: cauliflower, peppers, onions, squash, carrots, brussels sprouts, etc.
I used just a tiny bit of olive oil, so it’s within Weight Watchers good health guidelines of 2 teaspoons per day.
Each serving has 1 Point (because of the oil) and works with WW Simply Filling.
According to my calculations, each serving has just 50 calories, *1 Weight Watchers PointsPlus, *1 WW Freestyle SmartPoint. Enjoy!
