Preparation Steps:
  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure a crispy texture.
  2. Step 2: Chop the broccoli crowns into bite-sized florets and place them in a large mixing bowl.

  4. Step 4: Spread the broccoli in a single layer on a baking sheet for even roasting.
  5. Step 5: Roast for about 20-25 minutes, tossing halfway through for even crispiness.
  6. Step 6: Once golden and crispy, remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.

  • Adjust the nutritional yeast based on your preference for cheesiness.
  • Mix in other vegetables like cauliflower or Brussels sprouts for variety.
