Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1.75 lb broccoli florets
- 3 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1 tbsp dry ranch seasoning mix
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp onion powder
- 0.75 tsp kosher salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 0.5 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
- 0.75 cup grated Parmesan cheese divided
- 0.33 cup panko breadcrumbs for crunch
- 0.5 cup cooked crumbled bacon optional
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Preheat oven to 425°F and line a large rimmed sheet pan.
- Pat broccoli dry with towels so it roasts crisp.
- Toss broccoli with olive oil and lemon juice in a big bowl.
- Sprinkle ranch mix, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes; toss to coat.
- Spread on the pan in a single layer, cut sides down if large.
- Roast 15 minutes, then stir and scatter panko and half the Parmesan.
- Roast 7 to 10 minutes more until edges are deeply browned.
- Finish with remaining Parmesan and bacon, then serve immediately.
Notes
Variation: Swap bacon for toasted almonds to keep it vegetarian. For extra zing, drizzle with a little hot honey before serving. Leftovers reheat best in an air fryer or hot oven for 3–5 minutes to re-crisp.
