This was so easy..to over eat!!!! My niece saw this on one of the food network shows and I just had to have the recipe, trying it on my own tonight!!!!I think I’ll make a double batch!

I made this savory treat two nights in a row. It’s so addicting. Who would think that Sunny’s Broccoli Crunch became my new favorite snack? So easy and so yummy!

I made this last night for my husband. I have never roasted anything either so I was apprehensive about how it would come out. I actually enjoyed it. My husband also enjoyed it. I will probably make this again.

I just finished making this and I have to say I have never roasted anything and that broccli was not dry like i thought it would be. This will be made more often at my house.
David Webb
I have made this a few times my family loves it! Make more than you think you need it will all get eaten!

I made this last night and it was a huge success. I agree with Tricia I did not add all of the cashew topping. I sprinkled it in and used my own judgment, Would have been too dry. Other than that a big hit at the table.

I really love roasted broccoli. The cashew topping, in my opinion, was good but not outstanding. I might make it again w/ a lot less parmesan. Just pretty salty and overpowering.

My wife loves broccoli, but I am not a fan of it. I saw Sunny fixed this on TV the other day and decided to give it a try. It was quick and easy to do. I didn’t change anything in the recipe except the amounts because I was only fixing it for two. We both loved it and it is definitely a keeper.
