Ingredients:

• 1 lb broccoli (about 3 crowns), florets only (you can use a bag of frozen, but this recipe turns out better with fresh broccoli)
• 2 tablespoons and 2 teaspoons butter, margarine, or use olive oil for a healthier version, separated and melted
• 2 tablespoons and 2 teaspoons grated parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons and 2 teaspoons bread crumbs of your choice (I've used original, Italian style, and Panko... all great turn outs!)
• 1/8 teaspoon seasoning salt (optional)
• 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder

Directions:

1. Preheat broiler on high
2. Cook broccoli florets in boiling water until tender.
3. While broccoli is cooking, mix 2 teaspoons of melted butter with the rest of the dry ingredients.
4. Once broccoli is done, toss in 2 tablespoons of melted butter and place in 8"x8" baking dish.
5. Sprinkle mixture over broccoli.
6. Broil for 4-5 minutes until top becomes browned/crispy.
