ADD the butter to a large skillet over medium-low heat and once it is fully melted add the breadcrumbs and sauté until crisp. Season with a pinch of kosher salt.
ADD the minced garlic and ¾ cup of the cheddar to the breadcrumbs and combine together until thoroughly incorporated. Turn off the heat and set aside.
SPREAD out the broccoli rabe and garbanzo beans evenly on a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Season with kosher salt and red pepper flakes.
SPRINKLE the cheesy breadcrumbs over the vegetables and top with the remaining ¼ cup of cheddar.
ROAST for 15 minutes until the broccoli rabe is tender-crisp.
TRANSFER to a platter and season with black pepper to taste.
