Panko-Parmesan Roasted Broccoli

This roasted broccoli side dish is crunchy, salty, earthy, and super addicting! The crusty panko-Parmesan coating may add some calories but it's definitely a good way to introduce broccoli to anyone who says they don't like it, plus it satisfies a craving for fried food. Great served with steak, chicken, or fish.
