Gratinated broccoli is a really simple and quick side dish to make.
You can make them with fresh broccoli, wash them and remove any spoiled parts, or buy frozen ones; in either case, it’s quick since this type of vegetable doesn’t have much waste.
The quantity is for only 2 people, but even if you have leftovers, it’s not a problem… just store them in the fridge and the next day, a quick microwave heat will make them tasty again.
It’s a low-calorie side dish, except for the Parmesan on top which will create a nice crust, but there’s no béchamel or cream here.
