Crunchy Pops

Ever wondered why vegetables are so delicious? For those of you who don’t like veggie hold on to that taught, am gonna make you say the opposite 😉

I have been loving broccoli a lot lately & often look for different ways to eat it. Which led me to this amazing quick & delicious recipe “crunchy pops” is what I like to call them as, yea it is crispy. You too love munching on crispy crunchy food, don’t you?

Here is how you too can cut off on that junk & add some goodness on your place.

Ingredients:

• Broccoli – 200g / 2cups
• Olive oil – 2 to 3tbsp
• Garlic -3 big cloves finely chopped/garlic powder -1/2 tbsp
• Ground paprika/chili powder -1/4 tbsp I like it spicy so I add a little bit of both
• Italian seasoning -1/2 tsp
• Salt – as per your taste
• Parchment paper or nonstick baking tray

First thing first, do the basics. Cut the broccoli in to small sized florets, wash them under running water & you are good to go.

Steps:

• Pre heat the over to 400C for 15mins (conventional oven) for micro wave oven 3mins will do
• Combine all the ingredients mentioned
• Alter the quality more or less as per your taste
• Put the mixture on the tray & spread it around so they aren’t cluttered over each other ​ 

• Pop them in the oven for around 10-13 mins (extend or reduce bake time depending on your oven & the quantity) 
• Should look something like thing 👆after 10-13mins
• Take it out, flip them all & bake on the other side for 8-10mins & you are done 😇

Tips to ensure the crunch:

• Once the broccoli is washed make sure to drain off excess water. Put the florets on a thick kitchen towel & allow them to dry completely
• Make sure the oven is nice & hot before hand

All set & ready to be served 💃🏻 You could have it as a snack or as a side dish. I like it with pasta, it makes the best combo. You should try it too. Do let me know in the comments how you’re Crunchy Pops turned out & how you liked them. I would love to know 😍
