Ingredients

Broccoli dressing
- Olive oil 50 ml

Broccoli Dipping
- Canned/ boiled beans, chickpeas 1 can or 200 g
- Lemon juice 15-20 ml
- Dry oregano ¼ tsp
- Salt / Pepper to taste
- Green, nuts to serve
Instructions
- Transfer the washed and chopped broccoli to a ladle or pot, then fill it with boiling water. Simmer over low heat for about 10 minutes, or until the broccoli is tender
- In a small bowl, combine all the dressing ingredients: oil, paprika, oregano, garlic, salt, and pepper. Whisk until completely smooth
- Remove the cooked broccoli from the water and transfer it to paper towels to absorb any excess liquid. Next, place each piece on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Press down on the broccoli with a glass to flatten it slightly
- Using a silicone brush, coat each piece of broccoli with the dressing (oil and spices). Then, grate Parmesan cheese on top of each piece
- Bake in an oven preheated to 350°F (180°C) for 15-20 minutes, or until the broccoli is golden brown
- While the broccoli is baking, prepare the sauce by adding all the ingredients to a vitamix blender. Blend on high power until smooth
- Once the broccoli is ready, let it cool for a few minutes. Then, enjoy it by dipping it in the sauce. Bon appétit!
Notes
You can also make these chips using cauliflower.
For a richer flavor, try replacing the olive oil with melted butter and add extra spices to your liking.
It’s best to let the finished broccoli cool for a few minutes until the cheese hardens; otherwise, it may be too tender and not crispy right after baking.
