Ingredients:

  • 1 pound of broccoli crowns (about 3-4 crowns)
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1-2 Tablespoons oil (EVOO- extra virgin olive oil recommended)
  • 1/8-1/4 Cup Parmesan cheese

Directions:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees (F).
  • Wash broccoli.
  • Trim off about 1/4 inch of the stems.
  • Cut each crown into smaller pieces/florets, leaving stem attached. (see photo below)

  • Toss florets in oil and garlic, coating evenly.
  • Place on a baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes.
  • Remove pan from oven and flip the broccoli. (Broccoli should have begun to brown at this point).

See how it's getting a little brown and crispy? That's just what we're looking for.

  • Place broccoli back in over and back for an additional 12-15 minutes.
  • Remove pan from oven and sprinkle with cheese. (Start with 1/8 of a cup and add more as desired)

This batch is shown with 1/4 cup of cheese- just the way the Ladewski kids like it!
