Notes
- Use a preheated oven.
- For the most melty cheese, shred your own! It's not essential but it will melt more evenly.
- Make sure to cut your florets into bite sized pieces.
- Bake your broccoli bites on the middle rack of the oven, for even baking.
- Oven can vary so check in on the doneness of your bites.
