Ingredients

- 2 Tbs. olive oil
- 1 Tbs. unsalted butter

- 1/2 cup coarse, fresh breadcrumbs
Preparation
1 Preheat oven to 425° F. Line baking sheet with parchment paper.
2 Toss together broccoli and olive oil, and season with salt (½ tsp.), if desired. Spread on prepared baking sheet, and roast 15 to 18 minutes, or until crispy.
3 Meanwhile, melt butter in medium skillet over medium-low heat. Add garlic; cook 30 seconds. Add breadcrumbs and season with salt, if desired, stirring well to coat breadcrumbs with oil.
