Ingredients
- 500 grams broccoli florets
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup breadcrumbs (panko preferred)
- 0.3333 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon water
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
Step 2
Wash the broccoli florets and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towel.
Step 3
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water until fully combined. Set aside.
Step 4
In another bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, grated parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix evenly.
Step 5
Dip each broccoli floret into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off, then coat it thoroughly with the seasoned breadcrumb mixture. Press gently to adhere the coating.
Step 6
Place the coated broccoli florets on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced out in a single layer for even crisping.
Step 7
Drizzle the broccoli with the olive oil, or lightly spray with cooking spray, to help the coating crisp up in the oven.
Step 8
Bake the broccoli in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the coating is golden brown and crunchy.
Step 9
Remove the broccoli from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. Enjoy as a side dish or a healthier snack!
