Baked Parmesan Broccoli Medallion Chips
Ingredients
- 1 broccoli head with stem
- 1/3 cup whole-grain breadcrumbs optional panko or try this homemade breadcrumb recipe
- 1/3 cup parmesan cheese reduced-fat, finely grated
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- kosher or sea salt to taste
- 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 3 tablespoons milk low-fat
- marinara sauce no sugar added, optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
- Thinly slice the stem of the broccoli head into medallions, about 1/8 to 1/4 inches. Save the broccoli top for another recipe, such as One Skillet Chicken and Broccoli.
- Combine in a small mixing bowl breadcrumbs, half the parmesan cheese (about two and a half tablespoons), black pepper, salt, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper.
- Dip broccoli medallion slices into milk and dredge into bread crumbs to coat both sides. Note: It may be necessary to press crumbs onto broccoli medallion slices to ensure the crumbs stick.
- Lightly mist a non-stick cookie sheet with cooking spray and arrange broccoli medallions so they are not touching.
- Bake 15 minutes, turn over and continue baking until golden, approximately 10-15 minutes (being careful not to burn).
- Allow to cool to room temperature and gently toss in remaining parmesan cheese and store in an airtight container.
- If desired, serve with no sugar added marinara for dipping.
