Description

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

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or grease it lightly.
  2. 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.
  3. Chop Finely: Finely chop the cooked broccoli and place it in a large mixing bowl. Make sure to remove excess moisture to prevent sogginess.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. Cool: Allow the rounds to cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack.
  8. Serve: Enjoy warm as a snack or appetizer. They can be served plain or with a dipping sauce like ranch or marinara.
