Ingredients

8 cups bite-size broccoli florets (1 pound)
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons za'atar
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon ground pepper
¼ cup low-fat plain Greek yogurt

Directions

Position oven rack 6 inches from broiler.
Bring a few inches of water to a boil in a large pot fitted with a steamer basket. Steam broccoli until just tender, 3 to 4 minutes.
Preheat broiler to high. Spread the broccoli on a large rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle with oil and toss to coat. Space the florets evenly on the pan, then flatten them with the bottom of a mason jar or sturdy glass. Combine za'atar, garlic powder, salt and pepper in a small bowl; sprinkle over the florets. Broil until hot and starting to brown, 4 to 5 minutes. Top each floret with a small dollop of yogurt before serving.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
