Oven Roasted Broccoli

If you read my blog you know I love roasting everything. After several sunny days, we are back to cloudy and cold weather so I decided to roast some broccoli to go with the Roast Beef with Basil, Oregano, and Garlic. I found a delicious-looking recipe from Alton Brown and decided to give it a try – I am so glad I did. This is my new favorite way to make broccoli. My husband, son, and I loved it and even my sometimes picky daughter said she liked it but didn’t love it. It’s so quick and simple to make and tastes fantastic!

Oven Roasted Broccoli:

Ingredients:

• 1/2 lb fresh broccoli, rinsed and trimmed into florets
• 2 tsp olive oil
• 1 clove of garlic, minced
• Sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste
• 2-3 tbsp Italian flavored panko bread crumbs
• 2 tbsp Parmesan cheese, grated

How to Make Oven Roasted Broccoli

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Spread the panko into a baking dish and place in the oven for 2 minutes or until lightly toasted. Remove from the oven and pour bread crumbs into a bowl.

Place the broccoli into a bowl and toss together with the olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper then toss to combine. Pour the broccoli into the baking dish and roast in the oven until the broccoli is tender, about 8-10 minutes. Remove from the oven and toss with the panko crumbs and Parmesan cheese. Serve immediately. Enjoy.
