1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
1/4 cup breadcrumbs (optional)
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Wash and thoroughly dry the broccoli florets, cutting them into even pieces.
3. Toss broccoli with olive oil, garlic, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes.
4. Add Parmesan and optional breadcrumbs, tossing gently to coat evenly.
5. Spread the broccoli in a single layer on the baking sheet.
6. Roast for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until crispy and golden.

Use freshly grated Parmesan for better melting and flavor.
Avoid overcrowding the pan—roast in batches if necessary.
