Servings: 2 serving
Equipment
- Sheet pan
Ingredients
- 3 crowns broccoli, cut
- salt & pepper to taste
- garlic powder to taste
- shredded parmesan to taste
Instructions
- To start, cut the broccoli from the crowns. You can use all the florets but I recommend cutting them into larger pieces or bundles of florets as in the photos.
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Once boiling, toss in the broccoli and turn the stove off. Allow them to blanch in the water for 5 minutes and no more.
- Preheat the oven to 400℉.
- Grease a sheet pan then place the broccoli on the sheet pan. Using the back of a cup or glass, firmly press down on the broccoli to smash it. Start out with light pressure to then slowly increase until the broccoli is smashed.
- Season the broccoli then sprinkle the parmesan cheese across the tops.
- Bake in the oven for 15 minutes then remove. Serve the smashed broccoli shortly after because they will cool quickly.
