Why Make This Recipe

Roasted Broccoli Toast is a fantastic way to enjoy healthy greens in a simple and delicious form. This recipe is perfect for a light lunch, snack, or even as a quick dinner option. The combination of creamy ricotta, roasted broccoli, and zesty lemon brings out wonderful flavors that are both satisfying and nutritious. It’s also easy to prepare and can be made in just under 30 minutes, making it a great choice for busy days.

How to Make Roasted Broccoli Toast

Ingredients

2 cups broccoli florets
Olive oil or avocado oil spray
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
Pinch of garlic powder
1/2 whole lemon, zest freshly grated and cut into wedges
1 to 2 tablespoons olive oil
2 to 4 slices sourdough bread, toasted
1/2 to 2/3 cup ricotta cheese, or cottage cheese
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

Directions

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with foil and spray it with nonstick spray.
Place the broccoli on the sheet and spray it with olive oil. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
Roast the broccoli in the oven for 20 to 25 minutes until golden brown.
While the broccoli roasts, whisk together olive oil and lemon zest in a bowl.
Toast your bread slices.
Blend the ricotta cheese in a food processor until smooth.
To assemble, spread ricotta on your toast, top with roasted broccoli, drizzle with the lemon zest olive oil, and sprinkle with crushed red pepper flakes.
Serve with lemon wedges for spritzing. Enjoy immediately!

How to Serve Roasted Broccoli Toast

Serve this tasty toast warm and fresh from the oven. It pairs well with a side salad or soup for a more filling meal. You can also add extra toppings like sliced avocado or cherry tomatoes for more flavor and nutrition.

How to Store Roasted Broccoli Toast

If you have leftovers, store the roasted broccoli and the ricotta toast separately in airtight containers. The roasted broccoli can last in the fridge for 3-4 days, while the toast is best enjoyed fresh. You can reheat the broccoli in the oven to restore its crispness if needed.

Tips to Make Roasted Broccoli Toast

Make sure to cut the broccoli florets into similar sizes for even roasting.
Feel free to adjust the spice level by adding more or less crushed red pepper flakes.
You can substitute ricotta with cottage cheese or any other soft cheese you prefer.

Variation

Try adding different toppings, like sautéed mushrooms or sun-dried tomatoes for a change in flavor. You can also swap the sourdough bread for whole grain or gluten-free options.

FAQs

1. Can I use frozen broccoli for this recipe?
Yes, you can use frozen broccoli. Just make sure to thaw and pat it dry before roasting.

2. How can I make this vegan?
You can replace the ricotta with a plant-based cream cheese or tofu blended with lemon juice for a dairy-free version.

3. Can I prepare this recipe in advance?
While the toast is best served fresh, you can prepare the roasted broccoli ahead of time and store it for up to 4 days in the fridge. Just toast the bread and assemble right before serving.
