Michigan-based blogger Yumna aka Feel Good Foodie shared this simple recipe, that’s perfect for everyone who wants a quick and healthy meal. Her broccoli fritters are easy to prep, require no special equipment, and you can make them with basic ingredients, that you probably have at home.
Ingredients:
- 1 broccoli head cut into florets
- 1 large egg
- 3 tablespoons minced onions
- 2 garlic cloves pressed
- ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons flour optional
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon oregano
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil for frying
Instructions:
- Blend the broccoli in a food processor or chop it with a knife until it’s the size of fine couscous.
- Combine the broccoli with egg, onions, garlic, cheese, flour (optional) and seasoning in a large bowl, and stir the mixture until it’s well combined.
- Use the mixture to make patties – you should get about six 1/2-inch thick patties, approximately 4 inches wide.
- Put olive oil inside a large skillet and heat it up on medium-high heat. Fry the fritters in batches of three, for about 10 minutes or until crispy.
- Place the fritters on a plate lined with a paper towel and cover them until you’re done frying the second batch.
- The fritters should be served warm with your favorite dipping sauce, but you can also store them in the freezer for up to five days.
