Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups fresh broccoli florets, finely chopped
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or your preferred cheese)
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup almond flour
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (for frying)
Instructions
- Wash and dry the broccoli florets thoroughly. Finely chop them to a rice-like texture.
- In a large bowl, combine the chopped broccoli, shredded cheese, almond flour, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
- Crack the eggs into the mixture and stir thoroughly, ensuring the broccoli is coated and the mixture binds together.
- Form small, evenly sized rounds using hands or a cookie scoop. Press each round lightly to hold the shape.
- Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat until hot but not smoking.
- Place the rounds in the skillet, leaving space between each. Cook for 3–4 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy.
- Remove cooked rounds and place on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil.
- Serve immediately while warm, optionally with a dipping sauce like garlic aioli or yogurt ranch.
Notes
Pre-chop broccoli for quicker preparation on busy days.
Non-stick pans help reduce the oil needed.
Rounds can be baked at 400°F (200°C) for 15–20 minutes, flipping halfway for a healthier alternative.
Customize with herbs, spices, or different cheeses for variety.
