Ingredients

• 2 heads broccoli
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 cloves garlic
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 0.5 cups parmesan cheese
• 0.5 cups panko breadcrumbs
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest
• 0.25 teaspoons red pepper flakes

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Wash the broccoli heads thoroughly, pat them dry, and cut them into bite-sized florets.

Step 3

Place the broccoli florets on the prepared baking sheet and drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Toss evenly to coat.

Step 4

Mince 4 garlic cloves and sprinkle over the broccoli. Add salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using) to taste.

Step 5

Roast the broccoli in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the edges are golden and slightly crispy, stirring halfway through cooking.

Step 6

While the broccoli is roasting, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter in a small skillet over medium heat.

Step 7

Add the panko breadcrumbs and toast them, stirring frequently, until they are golden brown, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and mix in the lemon zest.

Step 8

Once the broccoli is done roasting, remove it from the oven and transfer it to a serving dish.

Step 9

Sprinkle the roasted broccoli with parmesan cheese and the toasted breadcrumb mixture for added flavor and crunch.

Step 10

Serve immediately as a side dish, or pair with rice, quinoa, or a protein for a complete meal. Enjoy your Broccoli Bonanza!
