Cheesy Broccoli Chips get smashed into crispy parmesan piles, baked until golden around the edges, and served with a spicy ranch dip that makes them hard to stop eating.
Preheat the oven to 400° F(200C°) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Fill a large pot with about 1 inch of water and place a steamer basket inside. Bring the water to a boil. Add the broccoli florets, cover, and steam for 2 minutes. Remove the broccoli and let cool slightly.
Create small piles of parmesan cheese on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them apart. Place one broccoli floret on top of each pile.
Using the bottom of a flat glass, gently smash each broccoli floret.
In a small bowl, combine the salt, garlic powder, and onion powder. Sprinkle the seasoning mixture over the smashed broccoli.
Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until the broccoli begins to brown and the cheese is crispy around the edges. Watch closely near the end so the cheese doesn’t burn.
Let cool for 5 minutes before removing from the baking sheet.
Stir together the Ranch dressing and Sriracha. Serve alongside the broccoli chips for dipping.
