Recipe in
Toss Your Own Salad ($12). Transform your
Broccoli and watch it get devoured instantly.

What if
Broccoli and
Fried Chicken had a delicious vegetarian baby? You
Would manage to do the impossible: get super excited about broccoli.
Ingredients
- 2 Broccoli crowns/heads, stems *******, cut into small pieces (Save the stems for a slaw. We don't waste food here.)
- 1/2 cup grated Parmigia** Reggia** cheese
- 1/2 cup panko bread crumbs
- 1 large egg
- Glug of olive oil
- Punch (**t a pinch) of kosher salt
- Generous amount of ground black pepper
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 400آ°F. Set up a bowl of ice water. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Bring a large pot of very salty water to a boil.
- Blanch the Broccoli crowns in the boiling water for 4 minutes, then transfer them to the bowl of ice water to shock them (to set the color and halt the cooking). Once cool, drain the Broccoli in a colander.
- In a small bowl, combine the cheese, bread crumbs, egg, oil, salt, and pepper until it forms a paste.
- Place the Broccoli on the lined baking sheet. Spread the paste over the broccoli; you don't have to cover the whole thing.
- Roast for 30 minutes.
- Let cool. Serve, and completely change the way you think about broccoli.
