That is going to be your new favourite technique to eat broccoli.
I by no means thought I’d be saying “broccoli” and “favourite” in the identical sentence, however right here I’m. And right here I’m drizzling mine in a greek yogurt dressing, topping it with a lot of parmesan and crunchy golden breadcrumbs and consuming the heck out of it.
Oh sure.
And please don’t inform me it’s simply due to the cheese. I’ll steal all of the roasted broccoli off the baking sheet earlier than we even get to the parmesan half!
Roasted broccoli is severely our love language. I can’t even rely how usually I make it. My roasted parmesan broccoli is my most made aspect dish by FAR. Everybody in the home loves it. It tastes superb, goes with nearly all the things and if there occur to be any leftovers, they’re wonderful.
I want I might inform you HOW I discovered to find it irresistible, however the reality is that I simply stored making it time and again and over. I talked about this in On a regular basis Dinners. Sure, the flavour combo in my parmesan roasted broccoli helped lots. I appreciated consuming broccoli that method, so I made it on a regular basis which really skilled myself into liking broccoli. And now I prefer it virtually *each* method.
However!
I’m at all times in search of NEW methods to make the broccoli so we don’t burn out on it. And whereas this isn’t too completely different from our typical, doing a caesar spin on it’s completely my new favourite factor.
Enter, my greek yogurt caesar dressing! It’s straightforward to make a batch and retailer it within the fridge. It’s so flavorful and you need to use extras all week.
So whats up, that is the simplest factor EVER. Right here’s what you do.
Roast your broccoli! Okay, it doesn’t HAVE to be roasted. You may steam it or grill – no matter is best and no matter you’re keen on. I like to make use of some olive oil spray, salt and pepper. I roast for about 20 minutes or so at 425 levels. Straightforward!
Whereas it roasts, make the greek yogurt caesar dressing. I exploit my meals processor or nutribullet for this. And I like to make use of this anchovy paste as a result of it imparts the salty, savory taste. I’d say don’t skip it, however I do know a lot of you make the dressing with out it on a regular basis!
As soon as the dressing it made, make some toasty, golden breadcrumbs. These are presumably the second most-made factor in my kitchen. I put them on EVERYTHING. Salads, pastas, simply all of the issues. I like to make use of italian seasoned breadcrumbs, some butter and possibly a minced garlic clove. Cook dinner in a pan, stirring till golden and toasty and crispy.
Shave some parmesan cheese, for certain. Even have finely grated parm able to go. Mainly, get all of the parm out of the fridge.
Time to mix! You may serve this heat or chilly. The broccoli cools down shortly so until you’re making it for your self solely, it would cool to room temperature and that’s superb. It’s nonetheless tremendous scrumptious.
I drizzle the broccoli with the dressing, high with the shaved parmesan, crispy bread crumbs and sprinkle on finely grated parmesan. A pinch of crushed crimson pepper doesn’t damage both however that’s as much as you.
See? Might NOT be simpler. This makes for a solution starter or aspect dish, however I’d completely eat this as a most important course too. Give me some sourdough bread and I’m good to go. My sort of meal.
Severely, my 17 yr outdated self can’t imagine it both.
