Steps:
- Heat olive oil in a large frying pan or wok.

- Add broccoli spears to pan. Sprinkle remaining ingredients onto broccoli and toss to combine.
- Cover and cook for 7-10 minutes or until broccoli heads begin to darken (but not burn), stirring every minute or so. If necessary, lower the heat.
- Sometimes I like to add a little parmesan cheese to the pan right before the broccoli goes onto the plate.

PANKO-PARMESAN ROASTED BROCCOLI
This roasted broccoli side dish is crunchy, salty, earthy, and super addicting! The crusty panko-Parmesan coating may add some calories but it's definitely a good way to introduce broccoli to anyone who says they don't like it, plus it satisfies a craving for fried food. Great served with steak, chicken, or fish.

Tips:
- Choose the right broccoli: Look for broccoli with tightly closed florets and a deep green color. Avoid broccoli with yellow or wilted florets.
- Trim the broccoli: Cut off the tough ends of the broccoli stems and remove any leaves. Cut the broccoli into 1-inch florets.
- Blanch the broccoli: This step is optional, but it helps to preserve the broccoli's bright green color and crisp texture. To blanch the broccoli, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the broccoli florets and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until they are bright green. Immediately transfer the broccoli to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
- Dry the broccoli: Before frying the broccoli, make sure it is completely dry. This will help it to brown evenly.
- Use a large skillet: This will give the broccoli plenty of room to cook without overcrowding.
- Use high heat: This will help to create a nice sear on the broccoli.
- Don't overcrowd the skillet: If you overcrowd the skillet, the broccoli will steam instead of fry.
- Stir the broccoli frequently: This will help to ensure that it cooks evenly.
- Season the broccoli: Season the broccoli with salt, pepper, and any other desired spices.
- Serve immediately: Pan-fried broccoli is best served immediately after it is cooked.
Conclusion:
Pan-fried broccoli is a quick and easy side dish that is packed with flavor. It is a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables, and it can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a delicious and healthy dish that the whole family will love.
