Ingredients
Vegetable oil, for frying
3 tablespoons grated Parmesan
1 teaspoon ground sumac
1/2 teaspoon ground cayenne
Zest of 1 lemon, plus wedges, for serving
6 large cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1 head broccoli (about 1 pound), cut into florets
Kosher salt
Directions
- Heat about 2 inches of oil in a large pot to 365 degrees F. Meanwhile, line a baking sheet with paper towels.
- In a small bowl, stir together the Parmesan, sumac, cayenne and lemon zest.
- Add the garlic to the oil. Fry until light golden, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Remove to the lined baking sheet to drain. Add half of the broccoli to the oil and fry, turning occasionally, until browned and crispy, about 3 minutes. Remove to the lined baking sheet to drain and season with salt. Repeat with the remaining broccoli.
- Put the broccoli in a serving bowl and toss with the Parmesan mixture. Sprinkle with the fried garlic. Serve immediately with lemon wedges.
