Instructions:
- Prepare the Broccoli:
- Cook the broccoli until tender, then drain well and finely chop it or mash it using a fork or potato masher. Ensure it’s dry to prevent excess moisture in the fritters.
- Mix the Ingredients:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped/mashed broccoli, beaten eggs, almond flour, salt, pepper, and shredded cheese. Mix until well combined.
- Form the Fritters:
- Heat a skillet over medium heat and add enough avocado oil or butter to coat the bottom.
- Take a spoonful of the broccoli mixture and form it into a small patty or ball, then gently flatten it to form a fritter shape. Repeat with the remaining mixture, placing the fritters in the skillet.
- Fry the Fritters:
- Cook the fritters for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Use a spatula to carefully flip them halfway through cooking.
- Serve:
- Once both sides are cooked to your liking and the fritters are crispy, remove them from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
- Enjoy:
- Serve the broccoli fritters warm as a delicious keto-friendly snack or side dish. They pair well with a dollop of sour cream or a squeeze of lemon juice for added flavor.
