Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams broccoli
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash the broccoli and cut it into bite-sized florets. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
In a medium bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, thyme leaves, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Drizzle the olive oil over the breadcrumb mixture and toss well until evenly coated.
Place the broccoli florets in a large mixing bowl. Lightly drizzle with a bit more olive oil (about 1 tablespoon, optional) and toss to coat the broccoli evenly.
Add the breadcrumb mixture to the bowl with the broccoli. Toss everything together, ensuring the broccoli florets are well coated with the crumb mixture.
Spread the broccoli evenly onto the prepared baking sheet, making sure the florets are not crowded to allow even crisping.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the broccoli is tender and the crumb topping is golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, and serve warm as a side dish or snack.
