Low Carb Crispy Broccoli Cheese Rounds
These cheesy baked broccoli tots are like broccoli cheddar soup on steroids. You basically take all of that deliciousness but add a little crunch to it by smashing these patties into flat little discs, and then baking them until they are golden brown all along the edges.
The key to making them crispy is LOTS of cheese and extra baking time. That, and making sure you drain the excess liquid from your frozen broccoli rice or cauliflower rice.
This quick and easy low carb snack idea is my absolute favorite. Even my kids can’t get enough of this cheesy baked broccoli! They are so simple to make with just a few ingredients including frozen broccoli rice and almond flour.
