I used flowerettes instead of whole stalks. We don't eat the stalks so this gave us more edible broccoli.
I added about 2 extra tablespoons of bread crumbs to the butter because the mixture became a ball, it seemed too moist. The butter/garlic/bread crumb mixture then spread out in the pan an roasted nicely.
The only problem with adding more bread crumbs was I had left over butter/garlic/bread crumb coating. Even after tossing in the broccoli and sprinkling some over the top. Then my dilemma was what to do with them? I'm still pondering that one! Maybe next time I will just use less butter since I had to toss the extra crumb coating in the trash! I hate to throw out food! Even crumb coating!
The broccoli was well coated and delicious. The broccoli was slightly crunchy, the crumb coating was buttery, crunchy and garlicky! I like garlic! My taste tester gave it a forks up! I was worried because he is not a garlic fan like I am!
I served it along with mini-meatloaves and mashed potatoes! An All-American dinner for sure!
This was simple to prepare and I will make it again!

Glad you enjoyed it. I think several us had "leftover crumb" issues - I know I just spooned them back over top...
Looks like a great dinner.
Mmmm, I'm always looking for new broccoli ideas - thanks!
It's a pretty great recipe isn't it? Heaven!
