Fresh broccoli is an all-time personal favorite vegetable of mine. I can’t think of one single way that it can be prepared that I don’t love it. Whether it’s the star of broccoli cheddar soup or tossed in a sweet and tangy dressing like my broccoli salad, it’s a go-to choice for us. I’m always looking to keep things interesting, so, sometimes I skip the casserole version and prepare it roasted.

 It’s All About the Topping

To make this dish, fresh bright green broccoli florets are tossed in a light coating of crispy panko breadcrumbs and  Parmesan cheese and seasoned to bring out the flavor. It never ceases to amaze me how such a simple preparation technique can be so intensely flavorful. Just a few pointers:

  • Choose broccoli florets with variations of medium and deep green. Stay away from yellowing broccoli, as the color change is a sign that it’s beginning to deteriorate and not as fresh.
  • While baking, some of the crumbs will fall from the florets and bake on the pan. This is normal and doesn’t mean something has gone wrong. Just before serving, spoon those crumbs over the broccoli and you’ll be good to go.
  • Adjust the amount of oil used to your taste and dietary needs. Also, if you’re spice shy skip the red pepper flakes, or adjust to your personal preference.
  • It’s not necessary to serve this broccoli with a sauce but, it pairs quite well with a warm marinara as well as a buttermilk dressing lightly drizzled on top. Serve these on the side so people can pick their favorite.

    This is so yummy! This is a fantastic alternative to the high fat/high sodium Spinach Maria that my family loves. This is essentially gives the same flavors but in a much lower calorie form. Thank you! Fabulous accompaniment to my BBQ ribs or chops.

        Hi,
        I tried it with frozen broccoli florets this past Thanksgiving and I must say it came out quite delicious. You just have to let the broccoli thaw and make sure it is dry. I laid mine in a large aluminum pan and set it on the stove while I prepared my other dishes. So while fresh may be best frozen works as well.

    LOVE this recipe! I use gluten free bread crumbs and only 1/2 tsp of salt, it still turns out great! Even my very picky husband and son, who neither care for broccoli, will eat it! Thank you!!
