I have to say, this broccoli really did smell like pizza when I pulled it out of the oven! This is a feat in and of itself because it’s no secret that broccoli is one of the stinkier vegetables! If you’re playing the game of trying to convince your kids, or your husband, to eat vegetables, this is one sleeve you might want to have up your sleeve. In that case, I recommend going heavy on the cheese and perhaps lighter on the red pepper flakes.

Cheesy "Pizza" Broccoli
from the Relish cookbook

Ingredients:
-1 head of broccoli
-2 tbsp olive oil
-6 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
-1/2 to 1 tsp dried chile flakes
-1 tsp dried oregano
-juice of 1/2 lemon
-sea salt & freshly cracked pepper

Directions:
1. Steam the broccoli until fork tender (I did this in the microwave). Drain.
2. Preheat the oven and place in a baking dish. Drizzle with oil and sprinkle with cheese, chile flakes, and oregano. Broil for 2-3 minutes, until cheese browns. Squeeze lemon juice and season with salt and pepper just before serving.
