- Heat oven to 450?F and set a large, rimmed sheet pan on the middle rack in the oven.
- Bring a large pot of water and 1 teaspoon salt to boil.
- Rinse and cut the broccoli into florets.
- Fill a large mixing bowl with ice water and set it next to the stove.
- Boil the broccoli florets in the water for 2 minutes.
- Use a slotted spoon to submerge the broccoli in the ice water to cool for 2 minutes.
- Transfer the broccoli to a paper towel-lined plate to dry and pat dry with another paper towel.
- In a large bowl, mix together the broccoli, olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt, and black pepper.
- Remove the hot baking sheet from the oven and spread the broccoli mixture evenly over the pan.
- Set the oven to broil and return the pan with the broccoli to the oven. Broil the broccoli for 4 minutes.
- In a medium bowl, mix together the melted butter, panko crumbs, shredded cheddar, grated Parmesan cheese, and red pepper flakes.
- Remove the pan from the oven, and sprinkle the breadcrumb/cheese mixture evenly over the top of the broccoli.
- Return the broccoli to the oven and broil another 3-5 minutes or until the broccoli is fork-tender, and the cheese has melted and is crispy around the edges. Watch closely to prevent burning.
