Broccoli Fritters
Broccoli Fritters blend shredded broccoli with spices, chickpea flour, and seasonings into patties that crisp nicely when pan-fried. They combine the freshness and slight crunch of broccoli with smoky and slightly spicy notes from paprika, chipotle powder, and garlic powder. These versatile fritters can be served as a snack or side, offering a satisfying texture contrast and a flavorful vegetable option. Adjusting moisture and flour content ensures they hold together during cooking.

Ingredients
- broccoli 2.5 + cups florets or 2 heaping cups shredded, a large bunch
- 1/4 cup onion chopped
- 1/4 cup cilantro packed
- 1/3 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp paprika smoked or regular
- 1 tsp chipotle pepper powder
- 1 tsp neutral cooking oil generic cooking oil
- 1 tbsp BBQ sauce
- 3/4 cup chickpea flour
Instructions
- Process the broccoli florets, onion and cilantro in a processor.
- Transfer to a bowl. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix. Mix well to distribute. Let sit for a minute or 2 for the broccoli to leak enough moisture so you can form patties. If it is too wet, add more flour. If too dry and does not stick well, wait for another few mins or sprinkle some water and mix and press to see if the mixture sticks.
- Shape into 5 to 6 patties. Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add a bit of oil and spread.
- Pan fry the patties for 4 to 5 minutes per side. Serve with sriracha, ketchup, bbq sauce, marinara or a cooling ranch.
