Steps:
- Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Check the stalks of the broccoli are roughly the same thickness, if not, halve the bigger stems of broccoli lengthways. Rub the broccoli with the oil, then sprinkle over the cumin and some seasoning. Tip onto a baking sheet in a single layer, and roast for about 15-20 mins, or until tender with just a little light charring, turning halfway through.
- For the breadcrumbs, heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Tear the bread into small pieces and bake for 5 to 10 mins, or until crunchy, then tip into a food processor and blitz into breadcrumbs.
- Heat the oil in a frying pan over a low heat, then add the garlic, spices, the breadcrumbs and some seasoning. Fry, stirring regularly, for about 5 mins until golden. Transfer to a plate lined with kitchen paper to absorb any excess oil.
- For the yogurt, mix together all the ingredients and season to taste. Serve the broccoli with the breadcrumbs scattered over and the yogurt on the side for dipping.

Tips:
- Choose the right broccoli: Select broccoli crowns with tightly closed florets and a deep green color. Avoid crowns with yellowing or wilted florets.
- Prepare the broccoli properly: Cut the broccoli into bite-sized florets. If using the stems, peel off the tough outer layer and chop into 1-inch pieces.
- Use high-quality onions: Yellow or white onions work best in this recipe. Make sure they are fresh and have a firm texture.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: Cooking the broccoli and onions in a single layer ensures even cooking and prevents steaming.
- Season well: Salt and pepper are essential seasonings for this dish. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or chili flakes, to taste.
- Cook until tender-crisp: Broccoli should be cooked until it is tender but still has a slight crunch. Overcooking will make it mushy.
- Serve immediately: Broccoli with onions and cumin is best enjoyed fresh out of the pan. It can be served as a side dish or as a main course with rice or quinoa.
Conclusion:
This simple yet flavorful recipe is a great way to enjoy broccoli. The combination of broccoli, onions, and cumin creates a delicious and healthy dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With its vibrant colors and delightful aromas, this dish is sure to be a hit at your next meal.
