Instructions

Preheat the oven to broil at 450°F. Toss the broccoli with the olive oil and garlic parsley salt. Spread the broccoli in a single layer on a baking sheet and broil for 8 minutes, flipping halfway through, until it is tender with crispy edges. Note: If you don’t have the option of selecting broil temp, simply broil on high but on a lower oven rack.
For the toasted breadcrumbs, heat the olive oil or butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the breadcrumbs and cook, stirring often, for 3–5 minutes or until they are deeply golden and crisp. Remove them from the heat.
Transfer the roasted broccoli to a large bowl and toss it with the Caesar dressing while it is still slightly warm.
Sprinkle the toasted breadcrumbs and shaved Parmesan on top. Optionally, finish the salad with lemon zest. Enjoy!
