Description
A delightful dish that transforms broccoli into a crispy, cheesy treat, perfect for getting more greens into your meals.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 large head of broccoli, cut into florets
- 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Wash the broccoli and cut it into bite-sized florets, then pat dry to remove moisture.
- Toss the broccoli florets with melted butter, minced garlic, salt, and pepper until well-coated.
- Gently fold in the shredded cheddar cheese.
- Spread the broccoli mixture on a baking sheet in a single layer.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, until the broccoli is tender-crisp and the cheese is bubbly. Keep an eye on it during the last 5 minutes to avoid burning.
- Remove from the oven and serve hot.
Notes
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven for better crispiness, or microwave for convenience.
