Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Fresh broccoli florets
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 8 ounces Cream cheese
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 1.5 cups Shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cloves Minced garlic
- 0.5 cup Diced onion
- 0.25 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 package Crackers or bread slices (for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper. Toss the broccoli florets with olive oil, salt, and black pepper, then spread them in a single layer on the baking sheet.
Roast the broccoli for 12-15 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized. Remove from the oven and chop finely once cooled.
While the broccoli roasts, in a medium skillet over medium heat, sauté the onion and garlic for 2-3 minutes until softened and fragrant. Set aside.
In a medium-large mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, sour cream, 1 cup of shredded cheddar, grated Parmesan, paprika, sautéed onion and garlic, and the chopped roasted broccoli. Mix well until fully incorporated.
Transfer the mixture to an oven-safe baking dish and spread it evenly. Sprinkle the remaining 0.5 cups of shredded cheddar on top.
Bake the dip in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until bubbly and golden on top.
Serve the dip warm with crackers, bread slices, or your choice of dipping items.
