Simple…roasted broccoli….preheat oven to 425 F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Lay broccoli on parchment paper. Sprinkle olive oil, garlic powder, onion power. Place in preheated oven for about 45 minutes. YUM!!! My kids love it!
Tristin is so cute he’s so nice and caring! I’m so glad you were able to re connect with him and he is able to build his relationship with everyone! It feels like he has always been there 🥰
Triston your cousin Trey loves broccoli. Only raw though. I think Tristan should cook broccoli for Trey. See what he thinks. Trey loves raw broccoli and eats it every day.. according to Trey on his videos.
My mom figured out how to keep kids from being picky eaters very easily. She had a rule. We had to try everything at least once. As a toddler, this took the fear out of it. I knew I just had to try it one time, my opinions would be validated, and I’d never have to eat it again if I didn’t like it. There was VERY FEW THINGS I didn’t actually like. Liver was one, shrimp and grits was another. But everything else.. I mean..food is USUALLY good lol. As a toddler, with that pressure taken away and understanding I just simply had to try it once, I tried EVERYTHING. I understood as a toddler that you had to try things to know if you liked them, and I had no pressure to be forced to eat more if I didn’t like it. So it was less scary to try things. I was a toddler and was eating escargot, ostrich burgers, bison, sushi, alligator nuggets, raw oysters, and almost all vegetables. I remember having a friend over who expressed “I hate mushrooms!” I said “have you ever had them?” And she said no. She tried them.. loved them. My mom let us sauté them, we ate them raw, and she even used them in her omelet that we made the next morning. Another friend was grossed out by the deer sausage we had. When he finally tried it, he loved it so much that he took home like four packs of sausage my dad had made. My best friend Mirissa wasn’t picky, but sometimes wouldn’t wanna try things. After spending time with us, she began trying everything and now does the same with her kids. You have to try things to know if you like them or dislike them. And whether it’s a toddler or an older child, they should be given the autonomy to say “i actually really dislike this. I don’t care to eat it again”. As well, with my mom’s daycare and with us kids, she always involved us not just in the cooking process, but in the purchasing process. She taught us how to find quality ingredients on a budget. And she would have us kids and even all her daycare kids truly involved in cooking meals. Not just sandwiches or grilled cheeses, or hotdogs or something. But true MEALS. Kids are so much more likely to eat something when they were involved in the process of making it.
The trick is to hide the food and change the texture. Put in blender just lightly, mix with Mac and cheese, put in casserole dish, apply crunchy topping and bake. Lord don’t tell kids what’s in it till they say they like it.
I love the broccoli and cheese casserole they serve at Cheddars Restaurant, that is ALWAYS one of my side dishes. We eat lots of broccoli at home, we steam it first, then sauté it with garlic.
I have 1 Child out of all that don't like Broccoli but have mastered a way to get him to eat it.. I'll Par Boil my Broccoli along with thinly sliced Carrots then I'll cook Noodles (Ramen for you) put it all together in a Bowl with Cooked and Diced Chicken or Pork, add Soy Sauce and Sweet Chilli Sauce, Fianlly garnish with spring onion (Green onion) again chopped thinly and he absolutely devours it! ❤
This comment has nothing to do with broccoli. It has to do with Tristan! I love all the videos with Tristan in them, especially the cooking videos. Since he came, I think all the other young men have been joining in with cooking and learning so many new skills. Tristan, you are amazing!!
We are HUGE broccoli fans! We like it boiled better than steamed and we definitely salt the water. We eat it plain with passion but roasted with lemon juice is divine too.
I have the same texture issue as some of them, so there are 2 meals that I could recommend for start with broccoli and cauliflower. 1st is “creamy” soup, my go to ingredient (measured is by hart) are broccoli, cauliflower, potato, onions, peppers, carrots and garlic. Sauté and season all the vegetables once they are sautéed, add water, let it boil for at least 15 minutes and then process with the emergency blender. It should be somewhat thick if you want to add cream cheese or cream. My other go to is to made a sauce for the pasta or chicken. Put the cooked broccoli on the blender with some spices and a bit of cream and choose if wanted fully blended or with some bits Hope enjoy 😊 I love these series
Oh Tristan! Up until now you had me.....but bacon? On this we diverge my friend. Sigh. I dated someone who bet me a 200 dollar shopping spree that I couldn't make him eat broccoli and ask for seconds. I waited about six months and made zucchini bread using blanched broccoli. I dropped some off at his work and he loved it. After work he came by and asked if I had any more of that bread and proceeded to eat the remainder of the loaf. As he was finishing the last of it, I told him it was broccoli, not zucchini in the bread. The neighbor confirmed it. He did pay up.... Fun memory!
I think its still a win that they are trying something they dont like and giving it a chance to see if they would like it. I think it also helps them become more open minded and before say no to something so quick and be shocked thier opinon isnt what they felt and might say they dont like it and had never tried for some reason. I think is is a great think in so manys for anyone. I love Tristan in the video he brings a lot to the videos and can see he enjoy doing the with arron and can see Arron enjoy as well
I really enjoy Aaron's cooking tips and especially now with Tristan who lends a bit of expertise. At first I was surprised that so many of the kids didn't like the broccoli, but then remembered that I wouldn't go near it as a kid either. Aaron was absoloutely right about it being a texture thing. I was that "picky eater kid"and I never questioned why, but just a few years ago I read a study that broke down into categories what types of picky eaters some kids were. When I read "some kids don't respond well to certain textures"I realized that was me! It helps if kids are asked to be specific about what they don't like, just as Jake did when he said "it isn't the taste, but the texture". By the way, as an adult I love all vegetables that I woudn't eat as a kid but still turned off by some textures. They may still grow to like the broccoli!😄
Maybe you could do a retry: Rabbit and Wolves has a bang bang broccoli recipe thats out of this world. Or maybe puree it in a soup or puree to make like a creamy/cheesy pasta sauce
I LOVE broccoli chopped fine with s&p, drizzle olive oil on top, and air fry until it gets crisp. Getting it browned and crispy changes the texture quite a bit and I think its the best!
Ohhh, what about broccoli salad? Chop uncooked florets into little pieces, add some mayo, salt, pepper, lemon juice and zest, parmesan and fresh cooked crispy bacon ❤️ Or broccoli croquettes - Cold mashed potato Shredded cheese Steamed broccoli - finely chopped Season to taste. Roll into shape, crumb, fry ❤️
I think the thing about “gross to good” is that taste is super individual. Just because someone didn’t like it doesn’t mean it’s not delicious to someone else. It looked really tasty to me and my family:)
This is the recipe that got me to like broccoli. Fancy Broccoli, 4 pigs of chopped broccoli, 1 stick butter, 8 oz cream cheese, salt and pepper, bread crumbs on top, bake 350 for 30 min. Soften cream cheese and butter ahead of time.
Smaller bites to try. I'm a texture freak, and I've learned that when trying something, it's better to be small, so that I'm getting the flavour, and the texture doesn't turn me off.
Just do a broccoli and cauliflower cheese! It’s a favourite over here in the uk. Standard cheese sauce poured over the par boiled veg and then bake for 30 mins and sprinkle paprika over it and boom it’s done! One last thing though is why throw away the stalk? That’s such a waste and that can be cooked and blended down into the cheese sauce and it contains so much nutrients. Zero waste and extra healthy .
We also got to realize that every 7 years your taste buds change so they may like it later in life. Your taste buds aren't as sensitive I guess when you're older.
Love this series! Broccoli pasta is one of my go to dinners. You can blend the broccoli and then mix it in a pan with garlic, onion, cream and Parmesan cheese. It definitely has the flavour but the texture is creamy 🙌
Tristan needed a mike. You can barely hear him while cooking. I think that was a win as half the kids liked it and they all tried it. I’m a texture food person myself. I also don’t like the smell of broccoli. Although I’m told a make good broccoli.
Luv the vlog! Just wondering if Tristan is taking over the cooking portion of beyond crazy? I noticed Aron only introduces the topics and pops in now and again. U guys r both awesome, just curious. Also, hope Joe's doing well ❤ Keep up the gr8 work!
might sound weird but try doing this but with the stem of the broccoli. it’s my absolute favourite part because it’s a completely different texture. it’s how my parents got me to eat broccoli to start with
My boys loved broccoli and spinach if I squeezed lots of fresh lemon juice over it! Also, cooking the broccoli longer will make it softer and change the texture so it might help some people to like it more.
Honestly I think they should try it separately from each of their siblings. Them seeing each other’s reactions definitely influenced for they were reacting to it
If you ate Prime Rib that was made 40 years ago, you would have enjoyed the flavor. In the old days Prime rib was prepared the right way, with rock salt encased over the meat. No one prepares it this way anymore and it does not have the flavor.
they might like it if it's roasted since it has a crunch instead of soft ish texture, I made it roasted with knowing I didn't really like broccoli, but it totally changed my mind and I love it
I do broccoli with olive oil, minced garlic, pepper, soy sauce and brown sugar. I do my green beans the same way. Even my pickiest eater will eat them that way. Now carrots….. can’t figure out how to get them to eat those 🤣
I was always skeptical about broccoli as a kid. I didn’t really like the smell, but as I got older I grew to love it. I think what changed my mind about it was when I went to a seafood restaurant and had it cooked in lemon and butter. Since then, I enjoy it much more now. My favorite way of having it is steamed with cheese. Maybe you should try that with the kids? Idk lol
I do not mind broccoli. Few years ago I saw someone make burnt broccoli, which does, imo, change the texture of it. I loved it more than regular broccoli. I used tons of garlic in it when i made it...maybe find a burnt brocc recipe
I can understand the whole texture of a food that makes it hard for kids. I had a hard time with any vegitable because my grandmother went about it the wrong way to get me to eat my veggies. She force fed me them and it caused alot of trauma for me. Later in life I gave it another try and theres still some veggies I wont eat and others I will.
My favorite way to eat broccoli is roasted, with garlic. If I cook it in a pan with butter and garlic, I like to add a little bit of soy sauce and reduce it. My Mom used to put a cheddar cheese sauce over broccoli, which is kind of cheating, but we ate it more readily. Cheese sauce also works on cauliflower.
I love broccoli I’d eat what Tristan made… when I’m finally able to eat fresh veggies I will definitely make it like he did. I’m currently a chemo patient and can’t have fresh veggies so it’s frozen for me. But I prefer fresh. And you tomato episode was making my mouth water..lol..
The way I eat broccoli: I bake a potato, cut it and open it up, put butter, salt & pepper, velvetta cheese, fresh steamed broccoli or I buy the riced broccoli and steam it in the microwave. Place on top of the potatoe and velvetta cheese and enjoy.
My daughter has issues with textures of food. For some reason she loves broccoli, as long as it's soft. You could try making crispy Parmesan broccoli chips. It changes the texture of the broccoli.
LOL. Mushrooms 🤮🤢🤢🤢. I bet there is NOOO way Tristan to make them from MOLD to GOLD 😂 I've never even swallowed a bit. Now if someone offered to pay for my teeth to get fixed 😢😢😢😢 I'd eat 2 cartons until I vomited. Funny how gross equals veggies LOL
Soooooo, when’s Tristan’s cooking channel coming to RU-vid??? Cause I’m lovin all the foods y’all cook!! Love y’all! Thank you for all you do and share with us!
Next you should do Brussel Sprouts! My family used to hate them but i changed that by making them Cheesy Smashed Brussel Sprouts and they are so good!!
Broccoli is my favorite! I am excited to try cooking it Tristin's way! I also love Prime Rib! I come from a family of great cooks and from an early age, we were exposed to trying new things all of the time.
I always make my kids cheesy broccoli and they absolutely love it 💯 I steam the broccoli then seer it in a bit of butter, add salt, pepper and usually velveeta cheese or American cheese slices. Melt it down and serve. Make sure not to mix it to much because the broccoli can and will break down to a mushy consistency
