Parmesan broccoli with olive oil

Parmesan broccoli with olive oil is a delicious and nutritious side dish that brings out the best flavors of fresh broccoli. It's a simple recipe that's quick to prepare and perfect for any meal. With just a few ingredients, you can elevate the humble broccoli to a new level with the savory taste of Parmesan cheese and the richness of olive oil.

Ingredients:

3 tbsp olive oil
40g
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
40g
1.50 lb broccoli
680g

Instructions:

2. Cook the Broccoli: There are a few ways you can cook the broccoli. Choose the one that suits your preference:
- Steaming: Place the broccoli florets in a steaming basket over boiling water. Cover and steam for about 5-7 minutes until the broccoli is tender yet still bright green.
- Boiling: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the broccoli and cook for 3-4 minutes until they turn a vibrant green and are tender-crisp. Drain and pat dry.
- Roasting: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss the broccoli florets with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and spread them out on a baking sheet. Roast for about 20-25 minutes, until they are tender and slightly caramelized, shaking the pan halfway through.
3. Combine Ingredients: If you steamed or boiled the broccoli, transfer the cooked broccoli to a large mixing bowl. Drizzle 3 tablespoons of olive oil over the broccoli. If you roasted the broccoli, you can skip this step or add a bit more oil if desired.
4. Add Parmesan: Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the broccoli. Toss gently to ensure the broccoli is evenly coated with both the olive oil and the cheese.
5. Season and Serve: Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. You may add a pinch of salt or some freshly ground black pepper to taste. Transfer the Parmesan-coated broccoli to a serving dish.
6. Enjoy: Serve your Parmesan broccoli warm as a delicious side dish to accompany your main meal.

Tips:

- Make sure to use fresh broccoli for the best flavor and texture.

- Grate the Parmesan cheese finely for an even coating on the broccoli.

- Adjust the amount of olive oil to taste; a little more can make the broccoli even more tender and flavorful.

- If you prefer a bit of a kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the mix.

- For extra crispiness, you can broil the broccoli for the last 2-3 minutes of cooking.

Parmesan broccoli with olive oil is a simple yet flavorful recipe that's sure to become a favorite in your household.
