Cheesy Oven Roasted Broccoli Food

CRISPY CHEESY ROASTED BROCCOLI RECIPE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 450°F and set a large, rimmed sheet pan on the middle rack in the oven (while the oven heats).
• While the oven preheats, bring a large pot of water and 1-teaspoon salt to boil.
• While the water heats, rinse and cut the broccoli into florets (they should all be about the same size).
• Fill a large mixing bowl with ice water, and set it next to the stove.
• When the water is boiling, add the broccoli florets, and set the heat to medium-low. Boil the broccoli for 2 minutes. After 2 minutes, use a slotted spoon to submerge the broccoli in the ice water to cool for 2 minutes. Transfer the broccoli to a paper towel-lined plate to dry and pat dry with another paper towel.
• In a large bowl, mix together broccoli, olive oil, 1-teaspoon salt and black pepper.
• In a medium bowl, mix together the melted butter, panko crumbs, shredded cheddar, grated Parmesan cheese and red pepper flakes.
• Remove the hot baking sheet from the oven and spread the broccoli mixture evenly over the pan.
• Set the oven to broil and return the pan with the broccoli to the middle rack of the oven.
• Broil the broccoli 4 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven, and
• sprinkle the breadcrumb/cheese mixture evenly over the top of the broccoli.
• Return the broccoli to the oven and broil another 3-5 minutes or until the broccoli is fork-tender and the cheese has melted and is crispy around the edges. Watch closely so the cheese doesn't burn. (**Note: If the cheese is browning too quickly, remove the broccoli from the oven and turn off the broiler. After 1 minute, return the broccoli to the oven and let it finish cooking with residual heat.)
• Serve immediately and...
• Enjoy!
