Ingredients

• 300 grams broccoli florets
• 60 grams all-purpose flour
• 1 large egg
• 50 grams parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Steam the broccoli florets in a pot of boiling water for 4-5 minutes, or until tender. Drain and let them cool slightly.

Step 2

Chop the steamed broccoli into small pieces and transfer to a mixing bowl.

Step 3

Add the flour, egg, parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to the bowl with the chopped broccoli. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly combined.

Step 4

Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.

Step 5

Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the broccoli mixture into your hands and gently form it into a small patty. Repeat with the remaining mixture.

Step 6

Place the patties in the skillet, working in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding. Cook each fritter for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crisp.

Step 7

Remove the cooked fritters from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.

Step 8

Serve the broccoli fritters warm, either on their own or with your favorite dipping sauce.
