These Broccoli Fritters Recipe are super easy to make. It’s a way to get extra veggies in your kids! They’re low carb and keto-friendly. Serve them up with just about any protein for an easy dinner the whole family will enjoy.

Trying to get my children to eat their greens isn’t always that easy but these Broccoli Fritters recipes are a perfect way to do just that. Each fritter is load full of broccoli and they are great for lunch, a snack or as even dinner.

Exposure is a key component to getting our kids to accept and eat different vegetables but sometimes steaming, boiling or roasting just doesn’t cut it. We often need to try a little harder.

How to make broccoli fritters:

Ingredients
8 ounces broccoli florets
½ cup shredded Parmesan
⅓ cup almond flour
2 eggs
¼ cup diced onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
½ teaspoon salt
Avocado oil

For these recipes, you will need a blender or food processor.

Put your almond flour, Parmesan, broccoli, onion, garlic, and salt into the bowl of the food processor fitted with the blade attachment and give it a turn.

The mixture will break down in about 15 seconds and be ready for scooping! though you can decide what you want to use to scoop it

Put the fritter right onto a pan that’s got a thin layer of hot oil covering the bottom. Resist the urge to flatten the ball or your fritters will likely fall apart.

When the bottoms have browned, flip the fritter over and flatten it to form more of a pancake shape.
These cook in just about 2 minutes per side so they go quick!

You can serve these broccoli fritters hot from the pan, but they’re also good after they’ve cooled!

Storing Broccoli Fritters

  • Freeze – Freeze on a baking tray until frozen, once frozen transfer to a freezable container/ziplock bag and freeze for up to 3 months.
  • Refrigerate – Store in an airtight container and refrigerate for 2-3 days.

To reheat, thaw then gently heat them through in a dry frying pan.

Notes
Using a cookie scoop works best as it allows you to pack together with the broccoli mixture. If using a spoon, use your hands to compact the mixture into a ball as best you can.

Serve with ranch dressing or ketchup, if desired.
