Za’atar And Parmesan Smashed Broccoli

 

1 large broccoli crown, approximately 1 pound

½ tsp. garlic powder

1 tsp. za’atar

¾ cup grated Parmesan

 

Cut the broccoli crown into florets. Slice any large florets in half. Preheat the oven to 425 F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Place a large pot filled with water over high heat. When the water is boiling, add the broccoli to the pot. Cook the broccoli for 5 minutes, or until tender. Drain the broccoli in a colander. Place the broccoli on the baking sheet. Use a glass to gently press the broccoli flat. Sprinkle the garlic powder and za’atar over the broccoli. Sprinkle the Parmesan over the broccoli. Bake for 10 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and is lightly crisp. Serve.
