Baked broccoli veggie fritters are a healthy and delicious option for a snack or side dish. Here’s a simple recipe with just 5 ingredients:

Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients:

• 2 cups broccoli florets (fresh or frozen)
• 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (plain or seasoned)
• 2 large eggs
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Olive oil or cooking spray

Directions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil or cooking spray.
2. Prepare the Broccoli: If using fresh broccoli, steam or blanch the florets until they are tender but still firm. If using frozen broccoli, thaw it and pat it dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. Chop the broccoli into small pieces.
3. Mix the Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped broccoli with the breadcrumbs, eggs, grated Parmesan cheese, and garlic powder. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix well until everything is evenly combined.
4. Form the Fritters: Take small handfuls of the broccoli mixture and shape them into patties, about 2-3 inches in diameter and 1/2 inch thick. Place the formed fritters onto the prepared baking sheet.
5. Bake the Fritters: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the fritters are golden brown and crispy on the outside.
6. Serve: Once baked, remove the fritters from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm as a healthy snack or side dish!
