Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 heads broccoli
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.5 cups parmesan cheese
- 0.5 cups panko breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 0.25 teaspoons red pepper flakes
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash the broccoli heads thoroughly, pat them dry, and cut them into bite-sized florets.
Place the broccoli florets on the prepared baking sheet and drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Toss evenly to coat.
Mince 4 garlic cloves and sprinkle over the broccoli. Add salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using) to taste.
Roast the broccoli in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the edges are golden and slightly crispy, stirring halfway through cooking.
While the broccoli is roasting, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter in a small skillet over medium heat.
Add the panko breadcrumbs and toast them, stirring frequently, until they are golden brown, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and mix in the lemon zest.
Once the broccoli is done roasting, remove it from the oven and transfer it to a serving dish.
Sprinkle the roasted broccoli with parmesan cheese and the toasted breadcrumb mixture for added flavor and crunch.
Serve immediately as a side dish, or pair with rice, quinoa, or a protein for a complete meal. Enjoy your Broccoli Bonanza!
