Oven Roasted Broccoli




I am really loving recipes from Alton Brown. Here is another one of his recipes that turns something that is usually boring and bland into something so delicious. The texture is just perfect. My husband almost didn't realize he was eating broccoli.



Ingredients

1 pound broccoli
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/3 cup bread crumbs (seasoned Italian style is great)
1/4 cup finely grated Parmesan or sharp Cheddar cheese



1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.

2. Rinse and trim the broccoli into bite sized florets. Cut the stalk into 1/8-inch thick, round slices.




3. Place broccoli into a mixing bowl, and toss with olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper. Set aside.



4. Spread the bread crumbs into a 13 by 9-inch metal pan and place into the oven for 2 minutes, or until lightly brown.




5. Remove from oven and add to the bowl with broccoli. Toss to combine.

6. Return the mixture the metal pan, spreading out the broccoli evenly.

7. Place in the oven and roast just until broccoli is tender, 8 to 10 minutes.



8. Remove from oven, and toss in the cheese. Serve.
