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
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Wash the broccoli and cut it into bite-sized florets. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Step 3
In a medium bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, thyme leaves, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Step 4
Drizzle the olive oil over the breadcrumb mixture and toss well until evenly coated.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
Add the breadcrumb mixture to the bowl with the broccoli. Toss everything together, ensuring the broccoli florets are well coated with the crumb mixture.
Step 7
Spread the broccoli evenly onto the prepared baking sheet, making sure the florets are not crowded to allow even crisping.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the broccoli is tender and the crumb topping is golden brown and crispy.
Step 9
Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, and serve warm as a side dish or snack.
