Panko-Parmesan Roasted Broccoli

This roasted broccoli side dish is crunchy, salty, earthy, and super addicting! The crusty panko-Parmesan coating may add some calories but it's definitely a good way to introduce broccoli to anyone who says they don't like it, plus it satisfies a craving for fried food. Great served with steak, chicken, or fish.

INGREDIENTS

2 heads broccoli, cut into florets

1/3 cup panko bread crumbs

2 Tbsp olive oil

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp lemon zest

½ tsp kosher salt

¼ tsp ground black pepper

1/8 tsp red pepper flakes

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Preheat the oven to 425 °F (220 degrees C). Line a large rimmed baking sheet with foil.

2. Toss broccoli, bread crumbs, olive oil, garlic powder, lemon zest, salt, black pepper, and pepper flakes on the prepared baking sheet.
