Ingredients

• 2 cups Broccoli florets
• 2 cups Cauliflower florets
• 0.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
• 0.5 cups Breadcrumbs
• 1 teaspoons Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Add the broccoli florets and cauliflower florets and cook for 3-4 minutes until just tender. Drain and let cool slightly.

Step 2

Once cooled, finely chop the broccoli and cauliflower or pulse them briefly in a food processor to break them down into small pieces.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped broccoli and cauliflower, all-purpose flour, eggs, shredded cheddar cheese, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix until a sticky batter forms.

Step 4

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add olive oil. Once the oil is shimmering, scoop 2-3 tablespoons of batter into your hands, form into a patty shape, and place into the skillet.

Step 5

Cook the fritters for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more olive oil to the skillet as needed.

Step 6

Transfer cooked fritters to a plate lined with paper towels to remove excess oil. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce or enjoy as is!
