Prep: 15 min · Cook: 30 min · Yield: 4 · Method: Oven
Ingredients
- 1.5 lb broccoli florets
- 0.75 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup milk
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp fine salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 1.25 cups plain breadcrumbs
- 0.75 cup buffalo sauce
- 1 serving cooking spray
Cooking instructions
- Heat the oven to 425°F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment and lightly coat it with cooking spray. (about 5 min) — 425°F
- Whisk the flour, milk, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl until smooth. Place the breadcrumbs in a separate bowl. (about 3 min)
- Dip each broccoli floret into the batter, letting excess drip off, then roll it in breadcrumbs. Arrange in a single layer on the baking sheet and spray lightly with cooking spray. (about 10 min)
- Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, turning the florets halfway through, until the coating is golden and the broccoli is crisp-tender. (about 20 min) — 425°F
- Toss the hot broccoli with the buffalo sauce, return it to the baking sheet, and bake for 3 to 5 minutes, until the sauce is hot and lightly set. (about 5 min) — 425°F
