🥦Ingredients

• 1 large broccoli head

• Parmesan cheese (can be vegan)

• 2 tbsp olive oil

• 1/2 tsp paprika

• 1 tsp Italian herbs

• 1 tsp garlic powder

• Salt and pepper

🥦Method

• Cut the broccoli roughly into big chunks. Boil pieces in a saucepan filled with water for 6-8min (you can also cook it in the microwave). Remove from heat, drain the water and leave it to cool for 5 minutes

• Meanwhile prepare the dressing by mixing in a bowl the olive oil, spices, salt and pepper

• Transfer broccoli to a baking tray covered with parchment paper. Smash each piece until flat with a glass

• Brush the smashed broccoli with the dressing. Then grate the Parmesan cheese on top (make sure to be generous, it is never too much cheese!)

• Bake at 180C, fan on until crispy and golden for 20-30min (this may vary depending on the oven). Remove from the oven and enjoy hot

FAQS and Tips
