Slow Cooker Roasted Broccoli

Weight Watchers Recipe of the Day - Slow Cooker Roasted Broccoli

After yesterday's slow cooker lemon cake indulgence, I decided to balance things out with an easy healthy recipe for slow cooker roasted broccoli.

I'm a huge fan of roasted vegetables, but this was my first attempt roasting them in the slow cooker. Talk about a revelation.

I'm so happy to have discovered the joy of slow cooker roasted broccoli before things heat up again here.

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!
