Ingredients

1 large broccoli or 2 small (, cut into florets)
2 tbsp olive oil
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup homemade breadcrumbs ((chunkier the better) or panko)
3 tbsp finely grated Parmesan ((optional) (see notes))
1 tbsp extra olive oil
Salt

Steps

Toss broccoli with 2tbsp olive oil, salt and pepper.
Spread on tray and roast in 350F/180C oven for around 10 minutes until slightly softened and starting to brown.
Meanwhile, combine breadcrumbs, parmesan, 1 tbsp olive oil and salt in small bowl.
When broccoli is almost done, take the tray out, move the broccoli to one side to make room to spread out the breadcrumbs on the tray.
Roast broccoli and breadcrumbs for approximately 12 min until the breadcrumbs are golden - don't walk away, the breadcrumbs will cook quickly.
Pile combined broccoli and breadcrumbs into serving bowl.

Hi Nagi! I just made this recipe, OMG IT IS MAGIC!!! ♥️ It’s so good, I’ve roasted cauliflower but never thought to roast brocoli! It’s so yummy, I keep popping a piece in my mouth at this rate I won’t have any left for dinner! Thanks for sharing! I will definitely try more of your posted recipes 😊 FYI, I cut the oil in half and used spray to coat the bottom of the pan of the pan and omitted the cheese and it was still delicious! 😊😊😊

So simple to put together, but so outstanding! It was an excellent pairing to the chicken with sun dried tomato sauce. I will be making more broccoli now because of this recipe. Thank you!!

Funny how I've never had roasted broccoli before. Really liking the added crunch from the pangritata (learned something new today!). New way of cooking broccoli!
