How to Make Broccoli Fritters | by @cooksmarts

cheddar cheese

🥗Healthier: low-fat cheese

💰Cheaper: processed cheese

Low-fat cheese reduces calories while maintaining flavor.

flour

🥗Healthier: whole wheat flour

💰Cheaper: all-purpose flour

Whole wheat flour adds fiber and nutrients.

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: vegetable oil

Avocado oil is healthier with a higher smoke point.

Place broccoli in a microwave-safe pan or dish. Cover with a wet paper towel and microwave for 2.5 minutes, until tender but still crunchy.

Place cooked broccoli into a food processor with cheese, flour, eggs, and some salt and pepper. Pulse until you get a thick, combined mixture. If it feels too wet, add more flour.

Heat up a non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Add enough oil to cover the pan and spoon fritters (~1/4 cup / fritter) into the heated oil. Flatten with spoon and sear on both sides for 2 to 3 minutes each, until golden.
