My wife makes me broccoli with roasted tomatoes. It tastes great. And cooked tomatoes are supposed to be real good for you too.

Yes, the longer you cook tomatoes the more lycopene is available for absorption : ))). Broccoli and all other plants from Brassica genus are better eaten raw. If you expose them to any heat important enzymes are destroyed - add at the and as a topping crushed mustard seeds. Here is one of the studies

I recently watched interview with Mayo oncologist mentioning this fact also. So, just sprinkle some mustard seeds on top of your meal - they have very mild taste. : ))) Bon appetit !!!

@jeffmarc Yes, roasted broccoli is delicious. I always hated steamed broccoli (which smells like a public washroom to my nose; probably some genetic thing), but roasting it in the oven or grilling over a BBQ is magical.
Ditto for Brussels sprouts.
Boiled/steamed = 🤢
Roasted = 😋
