Low Carb Broccoli Cheese Rounds: A Delicious Snack
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups broccoli florets: Fresh or frozen, finely chopped.
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese: For flavor and richness.
- 1/2 cup almond flour: Low-carb flour alternative.
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese: For added flavor.
- 2 large eggs: For binding.
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder: For flavor.
- 1 teaspoon onion powder: For flavor.
- Salt and pepper: To taste.
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder: For lightness.
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or grease it lightly.
- Cook the Broccoli: If using fresh broccoli, steam or boil the florets until tender, about 3-4 minutes. If using frozen broccoli, thaw and drain well.
- Chop Finely: Finely chop the cooked broccoli and place it in a large mixing bowl. Make sure to remove excess moisture to prevent sogginess.
- Combine Ingredients: In the bowl with the chopped broccoli, add the shredded cheddar cheese, almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, eggs, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and baking powder. Mix until well combined.
- Form Rounds: Using your hands or a cookie scoop, form the mixture into small rounds (about 1-2 inches in diameter) and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Flatten them slightly.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the rounds are golden brown and firm to the touch.
- Cool: Allow the rounds to cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack.
- Serve: Enjoy warm as a snack or appetizer. They can be served plain or with a dipping sauce like ranch or marinara.
Notes
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
- Reheat in the oven for best results.
- Experiment with different cheeses for varied flavors.
