FOLLOW @kalejunkie for more easy recipes, like this CRISPY PARMESAN SMASHED BROCCOLI w/high protein ranch dip—my favorite way to eat broccoli! The broccoli gets thin and crispy on the edges and then dipped into my favorite ranch dip!

Crispy Smashed Parmesan Broccoli
1 large crown broccoli, washed and cut into florets
1/4 cup olive oil
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp ground black pepper
3/4 cup freshly grated parmesan

High protein ranch dip
1 cup cottage cheese
3/4 cup greek yogurt
1/4 cup chicken broth
3 cloves garlic
1 tb dried dill
1 tb dried parsley
1 tsp onion powder 

Bring water to a boil, and add the broccoli florets. Let boil for about 3-4 minutes, do not leave on longer than that, or the broccoli will be mushy, then add to an ice bath to stop the cooking process. Remove broccoli from water and dry with a paper towel, gently removing as much liquid as possible. Next, preheat oven to 425F. Add grated parmesan in an even layer on a parchment lined baking sheet. Line up the broccoli and smash with the bottom of a cup. Brush generously with the olive oil and sprinkle the seasonings on top. Bake for 25-30 minutes, then remove from oven. Finally, make the dip—add all ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth. Dip broccoli in the dip and ENJOY!!!!!
