1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 large egg
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
Salt and pepper, to taste
Cooking spray or olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease with cooking spray.
- Prepare Broccoli: Steam or blanch the chopped broccoli florets until tender (about 3-4 minutes). Drain well and pat dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
- Mix Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine broccoli, cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
- Form Rounds: Scoop 1-2 tablespoons of the mixture and shape into small rounds or patties. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake: Lightly spray or brush the rounds with cooking spray or olive oil. Bake for 15-18 minutes until edges are golden and crispy.
- Cool and Serve: Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving warm as a snack or side dish.
Notes
Ensure broccoli is well-drained to achieve crispy rounds.
Customize with additional herbs like paprika or thyme for added flavor.
