Broccoli Fritters
Description
In this recipe, steamed and dried broccoli florets are combined with grated Parmesan cheese, flour, eggs, and seasonings including garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper to form a batter. Optional scallions provide an additional mild onion flavor and freshness.
The mixture is chilled briefly before spooning portions into a hot skillet with oil. Each fritter is cooked 1-2 minutes per side until golden brown and set, creating a contrast between a crispy exterior and tender, flavorful interior. Maldon sea salt finishing adds a delicate saltiness.
These broccoli fritters work well as an appetizer or vegetable side, offering a subtle garlic and onion aroma with the cheesy, soft bite of broccoli. Their simple ingredients and gentle pan-frying technique keep them approachable and tasty.
