Ingredients

  • 12 oz fresh broccoli florets
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp olive oil
  • 2 oz reduced fat cheddar cheese, finely shredded (I usually use 2% reduced fat)
  • 1/8 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp kosher salt
  • bit of vegetable oil cooking spray

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 500 F degrees. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with foil or parchment paper and set aside.
  2. To a large mixing bowl, add broccoli florets and olive oil, giving it a toss with your hands to fully coat the broccoli with the oil. Add pepper and salt and toss again to combine.
  3. Transfer broccoli to prepared baking sheet and bake 8 minutes. While broccoli is baking, combine cheese and panko in a small bowl.
  4. Remove baking sheet from oven and sprinkle broccoli with cheese/panko mixture. Spray quickly with a little cooking spray and return to oven for 3-5 minutes, until cheese is melted and a bit crispy.
  5. Can be served from the baking sheet or alternatively, after broccoli is finished with the first 8 minute bake, transfer broccoli to a large casserole dish. Top with cheese/panko and bake 3-5 minutes and serve directly from the dish. Just make sure the casserole dish is oven safe at 500!
