Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Wash and thoroughly dry the broccoli florets. Ensure they're cut into uniform pieces to ensure even cooking.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, toss the broccoli florets with the olive oil until they are evenly coated.
- In a separate small bowl, combine the bread crumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, and paprika. Mix well until evenly blended.
- Add the crumb mixture to the bowl of broccoli. Toss the broccoli till they are all well-coated with the crumbs mixture.
- Spread the coated broccoli florets in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the broccoli is tender and lightly browned. Turn halfway through the baking time to ensure even cooking.
- Once done, remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Serve warm as a delightful side dish or a healthy snack.
Tips:
- Choose fresh broccoli for the best flavor and texture. Look for firm, bright green florets with no signs of yellowing or wilting.
- For an even crunchier texture, consider using panko bread crumbs instead of regular bread crumbs.
- Add a squeeze of lemon juice over the finished dish for a burst of fresh flavor.
- If you prefer a spicier kick, you can add a pinch of cayenne pepper along with the paprika.
- If you're short on time, consider steaming the broccoli in the microwave before adding the crumb mixture.
