Instructions
Step 1
Start by boiling the broccoli in water for about 4 minutes. This will help soften the vegetable, making it easier to combine with other ingredients. Once cooked, drain the broccoli and chop it into small cubes.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, add the chopped broccoli, grated cheese, eggs, minced garlic, and flour. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix everything thoroughly until well combined. The mixture should be thick yet hold together.
Step 3
Using a spoon or your hands, form the mixture into small fritters. Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a splash of vegetable oil. Once hot, place the fritters in the skillet, making sure they are evenly spaced. Cook until they are golden brown, flipping halfway through for even cooking.
Step 4
Once cooked, remove the fritters from the skillet and let them drain on paper towels to remove excess oil. Serve warm and enjoy these delicious healthy broccoli fritters as a snack or appetizer!

Variations
For a vegan version, swap out the eggs for flaxseed meal mixed with water (1 tablespoon flaxseed meal + 2.5 tablespoons water per egg) and use a plant-based cheese alternative or omit cheese altogether! These adjustments keep all the hearty, delicious flavor and cater to various dietary needs. Enjoy your cooking adventure! 🎉
Faq
- What if my fritters fall apart when frying?
Make sure to properly combine your ingredients and add enough flour to bind everything together. An additional tablespoon or two of flour can help create the right consistency.
- Can I use frozen broccoli instead of fresh?
Absolutely! Just ensure to thaw and drain it well to prevent excess moisture in your mixture.
- How can I make sure my fritters are crispy?
Make sure your frying pan is hot enough before adding the fritters. This helps them create a nice crust on the outside.
- Can I bake these instead of frying?
Yes! Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake at 400°F (200°C) for about 20 minutes, flipping halfway through for even crispiness.
- How can I store leftovers?
Store any leftover fritters in an airtight container in the fridge. Reheat them in a pan or oven for best results!
- Can I add other veggies to the mix?
Definitely! Feel free to toss in grated carrots or zucchini for added flavor and nutrients.
