Oven Roasted Broccoli

I always love quick and easy, but delicious vegetable side dishes with my meals. One of my absolute favorite veggies to roast is broccoli, and it turns out to be delicious no matter what you put on it! 

You can even take a short cut and thaw a bag of SteamFresh Select Broccoli in the fridge overnight, so you don't have to cut up a bunch of broccoli. So simple!

Total Time: 22 minutes
Cook Time: 12 minutes
Prep Time: 10 minutes

Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients:

• 1 pound fresh broccoli, cleaned and trimmed
• 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/3 cup seasoned Panko breadcrumbs
• 1/4 freshly grated Parmesan

Directions:


1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
2. Place the prepared broccoli in a mixing bowl and toss with olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
3. Spread out Panko on a large baking sheet (I cover my sheet in foil for easier clean up!), and place in the oven for a few minutes, until lightly toasted.
4. Remove from oven and toss with broccoli. Return broccoli mixture to same baking pan and spread into a single layer. Roast in oven until the broccoli is tender, 10-12 minutes.
5. Remove from the oven and toss with the cheese. Enjoy! (The first time I made this, I was rushing around right before serving and forgot to add the cheese! It still tasted delicious, in case you don't have cheese, or forget like me!)
