Ingredients
- 1 head broccoli cut into florets
- 1 large egg
- 3 tablespoons onions minced
- 2 garlic cloves pressed
- ½ cup shredded Mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour optional
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon oregano
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil for frying
Instructions
- In a food processor, pulse the broccoli until it’s the size of fine couscous. You can alternatively chop it with a knife really finely. You should get about 2 cups of grated broccoli.
- In a large bowl, combine the broccoli, egg, onions, garlic, cheese, flour (if using) and seasoning. Stir until the mixture is well combined and moistened.
- Form the mixture into 1/2-inch thick patties, about 4 inches wide. It will make about 6 fritters.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the fritters in batches of 3 and fry, turning once, until crispy, about 10 minutes. Transfer the fritters to a large paper towel-lined plate and cover while you finish cooking the remaining fritters.
- Serve the fritters warm with your favorite dipping sauce

Notes
- Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container. They will last up to 5 days in the fridge. Reheat in the microwave, in a skillet with a little olive oil, or in an air fryer before serving.
- Freezing Instructions: You can also freeze the fritters before or after cooking them.
- * Please note the nutrition label does not include the dipping sauce.
- To freeze them prior to cooking, lay them on a flat baking dish in the freezer for at least 4 hours. When frozen, place them in an airtight bag. Thaw in the fridge overnight and cook per instructions.
- To freeze them after cooking, simply store them in an airtight bag after they've cooled. To re-heat, thaw in the fridge overnight and bake in a 350°F oven until heated through.
