Parmesan Crusted Broccoli Stalks

adapted from The Kitchen - Food Network

Last time we were in Philadelphia visiting our son at college, we found the Kensington Food Company booth at Reading Terminal Market. They have a variety of flavored oils and vinegars. We absolutely love the spicy parmesan infused evoo as well as the mushroom sage oil.

Makes 1 serving

1 broccoli stems
1 tsp. Spicy Parmesan Infused EVOO or olive oil
1 Tbsp. plus 1 tsp. grated Parmesan cheese
Nonstick cooking spray
Kosher salt

1. Preheat the oven to 400F.
2. Peel the hard, woody exteriors of the broccoli stem. 
3. Cut the stem in half lengthwise, and then again into quarters.
4. Toss the broccoli stem fries with the olive oil in a bowl, then coat in Parmesan. 
5. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spray lightly with cooking spray. 
6. Place the fries on the parchment. 
7. Bake until golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes. 
8. Sprinkle with flakey salt and serve immediately.

Enjoy!
