Ingredients
- 3 cups broccoli florets
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese shredded
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 cup Ranch dressing
- 1 teaspoon Sriracha
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F(200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Fill a large pot with about 1 inch of water and place a steamer basket inside. Bring the water to a boil.
- Add the broccoli florets to the steamer basket, cover, and steam for 2 minutes. Remove the broccoli and let it cool slightly.
- On the prepared baking sheet, create small piles of shredded Parmesan cheese, spacing them apart evenly.
- Place one broccoli floret on top of each cheese pile. Using the bottom of a flat glass, gently smash each broccoli floret.
- Combine the salt, garlic powder, and onion powder in a small bowl. Sprinkle the seasoning mixture over the smashed broccoli.
- Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until the broccoli edges are browned and the cheese is crispy. Watch closely near the end so the cheese doesn’t burn.
- Let the chips cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before removing them.
- Stir together the Ranch dressing and Sriracha. Serve on the side for dipping.
