Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams broccoli florets
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup breadcrumbs (panko preferred)
- 0.3333 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
Wash the broccoli florets and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towel.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water until fully combined. Set aside.
In another bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, grated parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix evenly.
Dip each broccoli floret into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off, then coat it thoroughly with the seasoned breadcrumb mixture. Press gently to adhere the coating.
Place the coated broccoli florets on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced out in a single layer for even crisping.
Drizzle the broccoli with the olive oil, or lightly spray with cooking spray, to help the coating crisp up in the oven.
Bake the broccoli in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the coating is golden brown and crunchy.
Remove the broccoli from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. Enjoy as a side dish or a healthier snack!
