Notes
*For crunchier panko, you can toast it like I did here. Spray a frying pan with a little cooking spray and let the panko brown, stirring occasionally until toasted. I like my broccoli with a bit of a bite to it, so I cut large florets. If you prefer more tender broccoli, you can cut yours into smaller, bite-sized pieces. And if you have kids who will only eat their broccoli soft (I was one of those!!), you can parboil it before roasting.
