Ingredients

  • 12 oz. broccoli florets 340g
  • 2 tsp. olive oil 10g
  • 3 Tbsp. grated parmesan cheese 20g
  • 1/4 tsp. kosher salt
  • 1/4 tsp. pepper

Instructions

  • Pre-heat the oven to 425℉.
  • Steam or microwave your florets according to package directions until slightly tender. Lay on a large baking sheet and smash with the bottom of a cup or ramekin. (It’s ok if they don’t smash a ton!)
  • Spray or drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper, and roast at 425℉ for about 15-20 minutes or until cheese is browned and broccoli is a little charred on top.

Notes

GF/DF: You’ll need to skip the cheese or swap in a dairy-free one!
