Broccoli Fritters
These broccoli fritters are a simple and tasty way to enjoy broccoli. They are crispy on the outside and packed with flavor from cheddar and Parmesan cheese.
Ingredients
- 2 cups broccoli florets, chopped
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup almond flour
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes optional
- Olive oil for frying
Instructions
- Steam the broccoli florets until tender, about 5-7 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, combine the steamed broccoli, cheddar cheese, eggs, almond flour, Parmesan cheese, garlic, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Heat a thin layer of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the broccoli mixture and form into a small patty. Repeat with the remaining mixture.
- Fry the fritters in batches, cooking for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Transfer the cooked fritters to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- Serve warm, garnished with extra Parmesan cheese if desired.
