BROCCOLI BITES
Delicious bits of broccoli are drenched in a cheese mixture and fried. When our local restaurant stopped serving their Broccoli Bites, we were devastated. So I tried to duplicate them at home one night. It was funny to note that soon after, they started carrying them again here.

BLISSED-OUT CRISPY CHEESY BROCCOLI GRATIN
Limited surface area. This is the problem with a broccoli gratin made in a casserole-style baking dish, meaning the ratio of crispy-cheesy-crumb-y topping to soft, tender broccoli is just way under optimal balance. With a sheet pan, however, every single morsel of broccoli gets an ample coating of crunch. You know what else is awesome? With a preheated sheet pan (see note), the time it takes to roast the broccoli is minimal-I'm talking 15 minutes, tops, for caramelized edges and florets. Meaning you can hit broccoli bliss in under 20 minutes. Are you in?

Steps:
- Adjust one oven rack to the upper-middle position and another rack to the position. Place a rimmed sheet pan on the middle rack and preheat the oven to 400°F.
- Toss the broccoli florets with the olive oil and salt in a medium-size bowl. Turn the broccoli out onto the hot sheet pan (it should sizzle!) and roast until the bottom of the florets are nicely browned, about 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, combine the butter and garlic in a ramekin and place it in the oven until the butter melts, 5 minutes. (Alternatively, combine them in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on high power in 15-second increments, swirling between each, until the butter melts, 45 seconds to 1 minute.)
- Place the bread crumbs in a medium-size bowl, add the butter-garlic mixture, and toss with a fork. Add the Cheddar and Parmigiano Reggiano cheeses and toss to combine.
- Remove the sheet pan from the oven and sprinkle the broccoli with the cheesy bread crumb mixture. Turn the broiler to high and place the sheet pan on the upper rack. Broil until the cheese is melted and browned, 1 to 2 minutes (watch the bread crumbs closely as broiler intensities vary and you don't want them to burn). Remove from the oven, transfer to a platter-making sure to scrape up all of the crispy, crunchy cheesy bits-and serve.
Tips:
- Choose fresh, vibrant broccoli with tightly closed florets and no signs of wilting or yellowing.
- Before cooking, trim the broccoli into bite-sized florets and peel the tough outer layer of the stalk.
- Blanching broccoli briefly in boiling water preserves its vibrant color and crisp texture while reducing cooking time.
- Steam or roast broccoli to maximize nutrient retention and achieve a tender-crisp texture.
- For a flavorful twist, try pan-frying broccoli with garlic, ginger, and soy sauce.
- Add roasted broccoli to salads, pasta dishes, stir-fries, and grain bowls for an extra boost of nutrition and texture.
- Broccoli sprouts, with their concentrated營養, can be enjoyed raw in salads or as a garnish.
