Description

These savory broccoli fritters offer a delightful way to enjoy your greens. These versatile cakes cater to various dietary preferences, being naturally gluten-free and easily adaptable to vegetarian and paleo diets. With a simple substitution, they can also be made vegan.

Imagine biting into a crisp, golden-brown exterior that gives way to a tender, flavorful interior. Finely chopped broccoli forms the heart of these fritters, providing a subtle earthiness that's both comforting and satisfying. A touch of almond flour works its magic, absorbing excess moisture and binding the ingredients together, ensuring the fritters hold their shape beautifully during cooking.

The result is a naturally gluten-free treat that everyone can enjoy. For those seeking alternatives, cauliflower and zucchini offer exciting variations. When using cauliflower, be sure to finely chop it and squeeze out any excess water to achieve the perfect consistency.

Zucchini, when grated raw and thoroughly drained, adds a delicate sweetness and lightness to the fritters. Serving suggestions are endless. A simple squeeze of fresh lemon juice brightens the fritters, adding a tangy zest that complements the savory notes.

For a creamy indulgence, consider a dollop of homemade ranch dressing, carefully crafted with wholesome ingredients. Alternatively, a dab of sour cream or blue cheese dressing offers a richer, more decadent experience. These broccoli fritters are more than just a side dish; they're a versatile and delicious addition to any meal, perfect as an appetizer, snack, or light lunch.

Their delightful texture and subtle flavor make them a guaranteed crowd-pleaser.

Instructions

    1.
    Wash the broccoli and cut it into florets. Bring a large pot of water to a boil, and add the broccoli. Let it boil for 5 minutes, or until soft but still bright green.
    2.
    Drain the broccoli and transfer it to a plate. Squeeze to extract excess water. Let the broccoli chill in the fridge for 15 minutes.
    3.
    Place the broccoli in a food processor. Process until it is the size of rice. You don’t want the broccoli to be too fine.
    4.
    Transfer the processed broccoli to a large bowl. Add the eggs, almond flour, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and salt. Mix to combine.
    5.
    Drizzle the oil into a non-stick pan and place it over medium heat. Using a cookie scoop, scoop one portion of batter, and press with your palms to flatten. Place it in the pan.
    6.
    Fry 3 fritters at a time for 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes. Transfer to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter.
    7.
    Garnish with chopped parsley and lemon slices. You can drizzle with cashew ranch dressing, or sour cream if you’re not following the Whole30 diet. Serve immediately.
