Ingredients:
- 2 cups broccoli florets (steamed and chopped)
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (for baking or frying)
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) if baking. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
- Prepare the Broccoli: Steam the broccoli florets until tender, about 4-5 minutes. Once cooled, chop them finely or pulse in a food processor.
- Make the Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped broccoli, almond flour, cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, eggs, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until the ingredients are well combined.
- Form the Bites: Using your hands or a spoon, form the mixture into small, bite-sized balls or patties and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Cook: Drizzle or spray the broccoli bites with olive oil. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden and crispy. Alternatively, you can fry them in a skillet over medium heat for about 3-4 minutes per side.
