- preheat your oven to 500F (yes it's hot, it'll roast quickly)
- cut up your broccolii into bite sized pieces, small-ish
- cover a 1/4 or 1/2 sized sheet pan with aluminum foil
- drizzle some olive oil on the pan, add broccoli and shuffle it around a bit ("tossing" the broc' in the olive oil)
- season with salt and ground black pepper to preference (err on a little as opposed to a lot)
- Once the oven is at temp, put it in for 8 minutes. This is the first half of the cook.
- While it's in, prepare a small amount of a combination of grated parmesan cheese and panko bread crumbs (fine and crunchy, panko bread crumbs are a thing).
- After the first 8 minutes, add the parm/panko topping and, if a crispy top is desired, spray with a small amount of cooking spray (e.g.- Pam).
- Return to the oven for 8 more minutes. This will complete the cooking. When done, allow to cool for a minute or two.
Tip: you can use the aluminum foil to lift it up and start releasing it from the pan, and it makes for a quick cleanup.
