Chop broccoli into florets, then process in a food processor until it resembles coarse crumbs or 'rice.' You can also finely chop it with a knife or use a box grater.

In a large bowl, combine the chopped broccoli, eggs, flour, cheese, green onions, lemon zest, garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined. The mixture should hold together when pressed — if it's too wet, add a bit more flour.

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 2-3 tablespoons of oil. Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the mixture and flatten into a patty in the pan. Cook 3–4 minutes per side or until golden brown and crisp. Repeat with the remaining mixture.

Serve warm with a dipping sauce like tzatziki, sour cream, or spicy mayo.
