Broccoli fritters are the trick you need. Golden, crispy, cheesy, and packed with finely chopped broccoli. Ready in 15 minutes. Dip in ranch or garlic aioli. Even broccoli haters will ask for seconds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ranch dressing, garlic aioli, or sour cream<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Step-by-Step Instructions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Step 1: Chop Broccoli<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n
Finely chop broccoli florets into small, rice-sized pieces (a food processor works great \u2014 pulse, don’t pur\u00e9e).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
Step 2: Mix Batter<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n
In a bowl, combine chopped broccoli, eggs, breadcrumbs, Parmesan, mozzarella (if using), garlic, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Mix until well combined. The mixture should hold together when pressed.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
Step 3: Form & Fry<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Scoop \u00bc cup of mixture per fritter. Press into a patty shape. Place in skillet.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Cook 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Drain on paper towels.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Step 4: Serve<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n
Serve hot with ranch or garlic aioli. Watch the broccoli disappear.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
Summary<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Prep Time:<\/strong> 10 min | Cook Time:<\/strong> 10 min | Total:<\/strong> 20 min<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fridge:<\/strong> 4 days. Reheat in oven or air fryer at 375\u00b0F for 5-7 minutes (crispy returns). Freeze uncooked fritters:<\/strong> 3 months (freeze on a tray, then cook from frozen). Never microwave \u2014 sogginess is the enemy of the fritter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
