# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Set oven to 200°C. Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
02 -
Steam or blanch broccoli florets until just tender, about 3–4 minutes. Drain and cool slightly.
03 -
Transfer cooled broccoli to a food processor. Add parmesan cheese, flour, eggs, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Pulse until ingredients are finely chopped and combined but not completely pureed.
04 -
Scoop out mixture and shape into compact discs, about 1.5 cm thick. Arrange evenly on the prepared baking tray.
05 -
Lightly spray each fritter with olive oil on both sides to enhance crispiness.
06 -
Bake in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes, flipping once halfway, until golden and crisp on both sides.
07 -
Serve hot with preferred dipping sauces, sour cream, or plain yogurt.
# Extra Suggestions:
01 -
For a lower carb alternative, substitute all-purpose flour with almond flour in equal measure.
02 -
Allow the broccoli to cool before blending, as excess moisture may affect the fritter texture.
