Ingredients

2 Tbsp. olive oil, plus more for baking sheet
2 pt. cherry tomatoes
1/3 cup sugar
1 tsp. chili powder
3 1/2 oz. coarsely torn baguette (about 2 heaping cupfuls)
1 1/2 oz. grated Parmesan (about 1/3 cup)
2 broccoli crowns, halved
Kosher salt and ground black pepper

Directions

1. Step 1Preheat oven to 425°F. Lightly grease a baking sheet. Combine tomatoes, sugar, chili powder, and 1 cup water in a small saucepan. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until completely broken down and glossy, 35 to 40 minutes.
2. Step 2Meanwhile, combine bread and Parmesan in a food processor. Pulse until coarsely crumbled, 12 to 14 times. Spread on prepared baking sheet. Bake until golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes.
3. Step 3Heat oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add broccoli, cut sides down, and cook until golden brown, 5 to 6 minutes. Flip and season with salt and pepper. Transfer to oven and bake until just tender, 14 to 16 minutes. Top broccoli with breadcrumbs and serve with tomato jam alongside.
