→ For Cooking
09 -
2 tablespoons olive oil, for frying
# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Chop the broccoli into very small, uniform pieces. Place in a large microwave-safe bowl with a small amount of water. Cover and microwave until the broccoli is soft and tender.
02 -
Drain any excess water and partially mash the broccoli using a potato masher or large fork, leaving some texture intact.
03 -
Add shredded cheddar, grated Parmesan, almond flour, eggs, minced garlic, sea salt, and black pepper to the mashed broccoli. Stir until the mixture is cohesive and binds when pressed.
04 -
Heat olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Scoop mixture into the pan and flatten gently. Cook for 3–4 minutes until golden brown, flip, and cook until the other side is crispy and golden.
05 -
Transfer fritters to paper towels to drain briefly. Serve hot with your preferred dipping sauce.
# Extra Tips:
01 -
If the mixture feels too loose, refrigerate for one hour before frying to improve binding.
02 -
Avoid moving fritters too soon during cooking to prevent breakage.
