This Crunchy Baked Broccoli is simple and very tasty. Made with just 7 simple ingredients, it's certain to be the star of the dinner show. Cooking broccoli isn't hard to do at all. In fact, it's one of my favorite vegetables to make. This is because there really isn't a wrong way to make broccoli. You can cook it in a way that leaves a crunch or have it cooked further so that it's easy to bite. Either
way, that broccoli flavor, and taste are amazing. Since this recipe has a coating on the broccoli, the crisp texture is the star of the dish. Pair it up with a bit of parmesan and paprika to give it a unique taste. The added Panko breadcrumbs mean that the broccoli is coated with just the right amount of "breading" to give it that deep-fried texture without it actually being deep-fried. 1. Place broccoli onto a large baking sheet, drizzle the oil, and season with salt and pepper. Mix well. 2. In a small bowl mix together Panko, Parmesan,
garlic powder, and paprika. Mix it. 3. Sprinkle the seasoned breadcrumbs onto the broccoli and bake at 425F for 20 minutes. This makes quite a big bunch of cooked broccoli so if you have some leftover, you just need to store it in a sealable container and keep it in the fridge. When you're ready to reheat, just put it back in the oven low and slow or heat
it up in the microwave. Be aware that it might not have a crispy texture when you're reheating it and this isn't uncommon. It will still have a great flavor but might lack a bit of that crispiness.

You can even make this a main meal if you decide that you want to! The simple broccoli recipe is an easy way to get that "fried" texture while being able to bake it right in the oven.
