I made dinner from my freezer last night, I didn't feel like going to the market in 100° F heat. The recipe calls for fresh broccoli, but I used frozen instead.
Crispy Broccoli Parmesan Fritters are made with simple ingredients - broccoli, onion, eggs, flour, Parmesan cheese, and seasonings. The broccoli is cooked until tender, then mashed and mixed with the other ingredients. It's then fried until golden brown and crispy.

  • Prep: 15 mins
  • Cook: 10 mins
  • Yields: 6 - 8 Servings

Ingredients

8 ounces (1 small-to-medium head) fresh broccoli

1 large egg

¼ cup onion, chopped

2 teaspoons garlic, minced

⅓ cup shaved Parmesan cheese

⅓ cup flour

salt and black pepper, to taste

Olive oil cooking spray

Directions

1Preheat oven to 400°F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper; set aside.

2Chop the broccoli into florets. Discard the hard part off of the stem, and chop the stem also. Place the broccoli and stem pieces into a food processor and pulse a few times until the broccoli is chopped. Add in the eggs, onion, garlic, flour and Parmesan. Pulse again a couple of times until well combined (about 5 seconds of pulsing). Stir the salt and pepper through the mixture.

3Form 8-10 fritters on the prepared baking sheets, making sure they don’t touch each other. Spray with a light coating of olive oil spray.

4Bake for 12-15 minutes on each side until golden.

5Alternatively pan fry in a nonstick pan over medium heat until golden on both sides.

6Allow fritters to cool slightly before serving. Serve with ketchup, Greek yogurt or fat free sour cream.
