Oven-Roasted Broccoli

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Broccoli

    Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Wash and cut the broccoli into florets. Place them in a large bowl.

  2. 2

    Season the Broccoli

    Drizzle the broccoli with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Toss until the broccoli is well coated.

  3. 3

    Roast the Broccoli

    Spread the broccoli on a baking sheet in a single layer. Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, until tender and slightly crispy.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Focaccia Topping

    In a bowl, combine the focaccia crumbs, grated Parmesan, and a tablespoon of olive oil. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated.

  5. 5

    Add the Topping

    After 15 minutes of roasting, sprinkle the focaccia crumb mixture over the broccoli and return to the oven for an additional 5-10 minutes until golden brown.

  6. 6

    Whip the Ricotta

    In a separate bowl, beat the ricotta cheese with lemon zest and a pinch of salt until creamy and smooth.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Remove the broccoli from the oven, and serve warm topped with whipped ricotta and chopped parsley.
