Jesse: Out, Out, Vile Broccoli

On his Facebook wall, SR photog Jesse Tinsley writes: "I have been eating a lot of steamed broccoli lately. What's your favorite topping that's heart healthy? I like sweet chili sauce, but I'm getting tired of it." To which a FBF responds: "Olive oil and a little Parm cheese at the end till it caramelized." And another: "Believe it or not, my mom used to 'drizzle' a little Mayo over the top of ours (when I was a kid)...I don't eat it like that anymore, but I could. It was good."

Question: How would you doll up steamed broccoli to make it taste better and still be heart healthy? And/or: Do you have any secrets re: ways to eat other unappetizing veggies?
