Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Broccoli florets
- 2 cups Cauliflower florets
- 0.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cups Breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
Instructions
Bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Add the broccoli florets and cauliflower florets and cook for 3-4 minutes until just tender. Drain and let cool slightly.
Once cooled, finely chop the broccoli and cauliflower or pulse them briefly in a food processor to break them down into small pieces.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped broccoli and cauliflower, all-purpose flour, eggs, shredded cheddar cheese, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix until a sticky batter forms.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add olive oil. Once the oil is shimmering, scoop 2-3 tablespoons of batter into your hands, form into a patty shape, and place into the skillet.
Cook the fritters for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more olive oil to the skillet as needed.
Transfer cooked fritters to a plate lined with paper towels to remove excess oil. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce or enjoy as is!
