Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
  2. Cut the broccoli into florets. Discard the tough part of the stem and chop the tender part finely. Place broccoli and stem in a food processor and pulse until finely chopped. Add the egg, onion, garlic, flour, and Parmesan. Pulse again a few times until well combined, about 5 seconds total. Stir in the salt and pepper.
  3. Form 8-10 fritters on the prepared baking sheets, making sure they are not touching. Lightly spray the tops with olive oil spray.
  4. Bake for 12-15 minutes per side, until golden and crispy. Alternatively, pan-fry in a nonstick skillet over medium heat until golden on both sides.
  5. Let the fritters cool slightly before serving. Serve with ketchup, Greek yogurt, or fat-free sour cream.

💡 Tips

  • For extra flavor, add a pinch of red pepper flakes.
  • If the mixture seems too wet, add a little more flour.
  • You can also air-fry these at 375°F for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway.
