Preheat your oven to 450° and bring a pot of water to a boil. When the water is boiling add 1 tablespoon of salt, the smashed garlic clove and the broccoli florets. Boil for 2 to 3 minutes.

Add the oil, romano cheese, half the breadcrumbs, a touch of salt and pepper to a large mixing bowl. Remove the broccoli from the boiling water with a slotted spoon and add to the bowl, mix.

Place the mixture into a baking dish, cover with the remaining breadcrumbs and cheddar cheese. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until the cheese is just starting to turn golden.
