Roasted crispy broccoli makes an excellent appetizer or a very tasty side dish. This recipe is quick and easy. Broccoli florets are first cooked, then smashed to flatten them as much as possible.Finally, they are topped with Parmigiano Reggiano cheese and garlic and roasted in the oven until crispy! A real treat!

Ingredients
- 300 g broccoli ⅔ pound, enough to make about 20-25 florets
- 300 ml water 1 ¼ cups
- 50 g olive oil 4 tablespoons, extra virgin
- 1 clove garlic
- 1 pinch chili powder
- salt to taste
- 50 g Parmigiano Reggiano cheese 4 tablespoons, grated
Instructions
- Wash the broccoli and separate the florets. Then use a knife to remove the leathery outer part from the stalk.
- Place the florets on a baking sheet and cover with the water.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 200°C (390°F) for about 15 minutes. After about 7 minutes, flip to the other side. You can also steam or microwave the broccoli (see paragraph below). The important thing is not to overcook them. The broccoli should still be crunchy when cooked, yet tender.
- While the broccoli florets are cooking, prepare the dressing. In a small bowl, combine the extra virgin olive oil, salt, minced garlic, and a pinch of chili pepper to taste. Mix well and set aside.
- Use a fork to check that the broccoli stems are tender but not overcooked. Then remove the baking dish from the oven, but do not turn it off.
- Using the bottom of a sturdy glass or a meat tenderizer, crush the florets to make them as flat as possible.
- Using a pastry brush, generously coat the florets with the garlic flavored oil.
- Then sprinkle the grated Parmigiano cheese over the broccoli. As you add the Parmigiano, it will begin to melt from the heat of the baking sheet, forming a crispy crust.
- Return the baking sheet to the oven, still at 200°C (390°F), for about 5 minutes. Then turn on the grill for an additional 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the broccoli when they are nicely browned and crispy.
