Ingredients:
Broccoli – 1 big flower (10 florets) Olive oil – 4 tbsps Orange zest (Any citrus zest) – 2 tsps Salt – a pinch (see notes below) Pepper – 1 tsp Cheddar cheese or to your preference (grated) – 2 tbsps or more according to your taste
Steps:
Clean the broccoli florets and pat dry. Mix olive oil, salt, pepper and the zest and whisk together. Preheat the oven to 350F I used a cookie baking tray for baking this. I covered the tray with aluminum foil and sprayed the same with cooking oil. Mix the broccoli and the olive oil mixture , make sure all the broccoli florets are coated well with the olive oil mixture and bake it for 20 mts. Now add the grated cheese and bake it for 10-12 minutes or until the broccoli becomes crunchy. (Not more than 15 mts)
Notes:
As I am using cheese, I didn’t add salt. If I used cheddar, I do add a pinch of salt and if I use parmesan, I don’t use salt at all. You can use any citrus zest, be it lime or lemon or orange. I have tried all three and all tastes good. You can also use flavored olive oil, garlic infused ones are really good.
