BROCCOLI FRITTERS WITH CHEDDAR CHEESE (EASY, LOW CARB RECIPE)

I recently visited my family in Texas and wowed my sister-in-law with broccoli fritters for breakfast. I simply used leftover broccoli from dinner the night before. But let’s get real… No one’s excited about eating leftover vegetables… BUT A FRITTER? That’s exciting!

Trying to get kids (and some adults) to eat vegetables sometimes calls for new or imaginative ways to present them. For the most part my family loves vegetables but we can become tired of eating our favorites, like broccoli, the same way every week. Enter the fritter!

Broccoli fritters are my new veggie obsession. I typically make zucchini fritters in the Summer to help use the bounty we receive from neighbors. And my husband swears that cauliflower fritters make the best low carb hash brown substitute around. But there’s something about the toothsome bite of these broccoli fritters that has me making them every week.

Ingredients

• 8 ounces broccoli, cut into small pieces or chopped
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 2 large eggs, beaten
• 2 Tbsp oat fiber or almond flour, or powdered pork rinds (regular flour if not low carb)
• 1 tsp Cajun seasoning
• 1 Tbsp avocado oil or your favorite

Instructions
Preparation:

1. Cut fresh broccoli crowns and stems into 1/2 inch by 1/2 inch pieces. Steam lightly in the microwave or in a steamer. Drain any excess water and dry with paper towels if wet. (If using leftover broccoli, drain well and chop into small bite-sized pieces.)
2. .....................................

Method:

1. Toss or stir the broccoli with your flour of choice and the Cajun seasoning to coat. Add the egg and stir. Add the cheddar cheese and stir until thoroughly combined.
