Cooking Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Steam or microwave the chopped broccoli florets until tender, about 3-4 minutes. Drain excess water and cool slightly.
Chop the broccoli finely if necessary.
Combine the chopped broccoli, shredded cheddar, grated Parmesan, eggs, almond flour, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper in a large mixing bowl. Mix until well blended.
Form the mixture into small rounds or patties, about 1-2 inches in diameter, and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and firm to the touch.
Cool the rounds for a few minutes on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack.
Mixing the ingredients thoroughly is key for achieving deliciously cheesy and flavorful bites. Keep an eye on the rounds while baking for a perfect golden finish.
