How to Make Crispy, Cheesy, Smashed Broccoli
Transforming a humble head of broccoli into a crunchy delight is easier than you think. We take simple ingredients and transform them.
Ingredients
- 1 head of Fresh Broccoli – washed and trimmed, about 2 to 4 cups of broccoli florets. Blanched or steamed.
- 1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese – grated or finely grated will both work
- 1/2 cup Cheddar cheese – grated
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1/2 tsp Pepper
- 1 tst Cajun seasoning
Begin by preheating your oven to 425 degrees. After washing, trimming, and blanching the broccoli, pat it dry with a paper towel.
Line a sheet pan with parchment paper, and spread a combination of 1/2 cup grated Parmesan and 1/2 cup shredded cheddar in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Arrange the blanched, tender broccoli on top and give it a satisfying smash with a glass.
Season generously with 1/2 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp pepper, and 1 tsp Cajun seasoning.
For best results, bake for 20 to 25 minutes until your Crispy Broccoli Cheese Chips achieve a golden brown perfection.
