CRUNCH Hey there guys! Pardon me while I munch on a bit more of these garlic parmesan roasted broccoli topped with crunchy pan toasted panko. Gah! I can’t get over all this flavor and texture! I’m bringing you a quick and easy recipe today (in a quick little post). I have some HUGE news to share with you here in the next few days and the Little Spice Jar team has been gearing up for some exciting stuff. So while that’s going on behind the scenes, I wanted to share a quick and easy side dish that’s perfect for Thanksgiving tables everywhere. This recipe takes like 5 minutes of hands on time and 10 minutes of oven time so it’s perfect if you’re looking for a quick little side to bring to a feast, say the 26th of this month? All you need are a few simple ingredients. Broccoli is kind of a given, so no point for you there! A little panko that we’ll toast in a pan with a little olive oil and then the garlic infused oil for the broccoli. The garlic oil is simple. When I make roasted broccoli I almost always do it this way. Because 1.) it’s AMAZING! 2.) who doesn’t love garlic? So here’s the deal – 3 tablespoons of olive oil +4 cloves of minced garlic + 1 pinch red pepper flakes + fresh thyme + salt and pepper. Mix it together in a tiny bowl and pop it in the microwave for 30 seconds stopping half way to give it a stir. Voila! A quick garlic infused oil that’s perfect to drizzle on all your favorite veggies before roasting them in the oven. Pop it into a 425ºF oven for 11-14 minutes. And when the broccoli is done, give it a nice handful of parmesan and top with the pan toasted panko! The hubby said he wanted to grab a baguette and dip it into the garlic infused oil. Yes, it’s that good.
Panko is a type of Japanese breadcrumb that is usually available in the baking aisle at most grocery stores next to regular breadcrumbs.
