Baked Breaded Broccoli

Baked Breaded Broccoli, parmesan cheese, bread crumbs and spices make this recipe just as delicious as deep fried but so much more healthier.

📝 Ingredients

• 1/2 head large broccoli (broken into large florets)
• 1/2 fresh lemon
• 1/2 cup bread crumbs
• 2 tablespoons freshly grated parmesan cheese
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon dried parsley (or 1 tablespoon fresh minced)
• 2 large eggs
• 2-3 tablespoons olive oil

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Pre-heat oven to 350° (180° celsius). Lightly grease a small to medium baking pan or cookie sheet.
2. 2In a large pot of lightly salted boiling water cook the broccoli until tender but firm (not mushy) (al dente)
3. 3Drain and rinse the broccoli under cold water (drain well) then sprinkle with the juice of ½ a lemon and toss gently.
4. 4In a small bowl beat the eggs add the parmesan cheese and mix well. In a small bowl combine the bread crumbs and parsley.
5. 5First roll the florets in the egg mixture then roll in the breadcrumb mixture press gently to cover well. Place them in the prepared baking pan, sprinkle with a little salt and drizzle with the olive oil. Bake for approximately 20-30 minutes. (I turned the heat up at the end, last 5 minutes just to brown a bit on top). Enjoy!
