1 tsp onion powder
Salt and pepper to taste
1/2 cup crushed Ritz crackers (optional)

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch casserole dish with non-stick spray.
Cook Broccoli: Steam or cook the broccoli florets until tender (about 5-7 minutes if using fresh). Drain well and set aside.
