Sesame Garlic Breadcrumbs:
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F.
- Place the broccoli on a sheet tray and cover with 3 tablespoons of olive oil and season with the 2 tsp of kosher salt. Toss to coat and place in the 500 degrees oven for 20 minutes until golden all over
- Make the breadcrumbs. In a pan heat up 1/2 cup of olive oil. Add in the garlic and the aleppo and saute on low until lightly golden. Add in the sesame seeds and let toast for a couple minutes. Add in the panko and on a low heat mix and toast until lightly golden in color. Remove from heat and season well with kosher salt. Check for seasoning.
- When the broccoli is ready to plate, place it in a big bowl and squeeze over the lemon. Top with the panko and finish with the lemon zest. Serve.
- The panko is an extreme amount so if you are not in the mood you can definitely keep some on the side and save for another roasted veg or salad.
