Ingredients

  • 2 medium broccoli heads, trimmed (see note)
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • ¼ cup breadcrumbs (plain or Italian-style)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 400°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. Prepare Broccoli: Cut the broccoli heads into bite-sized florets. If any florets are particularly large, cut them in half.

  3. Season and Toss: In a large mixing bowl, toss the broccoli with olive oil, salt, pepper, and minced garlic until well-coated.

  4. Add Coating: Sprinkle in the Parmesan cheese and breadcrumbs, tossing again to distribute evenly.

  5. Arrange and Roast: Spread the broccoli onto the prepared baking sheet, sprinkling any remaining breadcrumb mixture from the bowl over the florets. Roast for 20-25 minutes, until the broccoli is tender and the coating is golden and crisp.

  6. Serve and Enjoy: Transfer the broccoli to a serving dish, and enjoy as a delicious side for your favorite main course!

Notes

  • For pre-trimmed broccoli, use about 4 cups.
  • You can substitute fresh garlic with 3 teaspoons of pre-minced garlic in olive oil.
