Ingredients
12 ounce Fresh Broccoli Florets 2 tablespoon Butter melted 1 tablespoon Minced Garlic 0.25 teaspoon Cracked Black Pepper 0.5 cup Good Quality Shredded Parmesan
Equipment
Microwave-safe bag or steam basket
Instructions
1
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.

Steam the broccoli for 3-4 minutes in a microwave-safe bag or in a steam basket over boiling water. The broccoli needs to be "al dente," soft enough to smash but not mushy.
3
Pat the broccoli dry with a dish towel and place on a large baking sheet.
4
Use a heavy bottom glass to smash the broccoli flat.
5
Combine the melted butter, garlic, garlic salt, and black pepper. Brush the smashed broccoli with the mixture and top with the parmesan.
6
Roast the broccoli 18-20 minutes until crispy.
