Smashed Broccoli with Parmesan
Make your next meal a smashing hit with my smashed broccoli and parmesan crisps!
I have a list of grocery stapes that I get regularly without fail and for me, broccoli is in the tip tip tippy top 5. I like it raw (LMAO); I like it roasted; I like it boiled, blitzed, dipped and you guessed it, I also like it smashed.
And though I love it in just about any (and every) form, sometimes I like to shake things up. When I do, I’ll make these garlicky parm crisps and let me tell you, they don’t last very long… even when it’s just me at home. It’s hard to explain but there’s something about these puppies that just. feels. so right. Maybe it’s the fact that broccoli is so healthy
It’s a well-known fact that broccoli is healthy, but when you mash it up with a little bit of savory parmesan cheese, it becomes something completely irresistible. Plus, there are so many benefits to eating broccoli – it’s loaded with vitamins and antioxidants, and can even help lower your risk of certain diseases. So go ahead, grab a fork and dive into a big bowl of smashed broccoli goodness – your taste buds AND your body will thank you!
This dish may not sound like much, but it packs a ton of benefits and flavor. Broccoli is chock-full of vitamins and minerals, including a healthy dose of vitamin C, and parmesan adds a satisfying umami kick to the mix. When combined, these two ingredients create a delicious and nutritious side dish that will have you coming back for seconds. Plus, with the “smashed” preparation method, you can enjoy the benefits of broccoli’s fiber without sacrificing any of its flavor. Give it a try and see for yourself how this simple dish can become a staple in your meal rotation.
