How many of you are Broccoli fans?! I am a huge fan. But that said, I know this vegetable gets a lot of unnecessary hate, but it is so versatile and can be cooked in many ways. I usually use my broccoli in pasta stir-fries or salads or in soups or patties. I recently made crispy garlic roasted broccoli in the oven and every at home loved it. As I made it in the oven, I used very little olive oil and slow roasted the broccoli florets until they turned crispy.

The magical ingredient in this crispy roasted broccoli is garlic! I love love love garlic and I have used quite a bit of garlic powder in this recipe. First, it imparts a delicious flavor to the roast and second, it helps mask the smell of the broccoli too. To add on to the flavor, I used diced onions too. And the crispy elements – panko bread crumbs and corn flour were added to a mix of assorted spices. It literally takes less than 10 mins to prepare this dish and then put it in the oven, letting it do its thing!
