Cook Time: 15 mins
Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups broccoli, chopped
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 3/4 cup almond flour
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This will prevent the Dunkers from sticking and make for easier cleanup.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped broccoli and shredded cheddar cheese. Make sure the broccoli is finely chopped to ensure even distribution throughout the mixture.
- Add the almond flour to the broccoli and cheese mixture. This will serve as the binding agent for your Dunkers, giving them a nice texture.
- In a separate bowl, crack the two eggs and whisk them until the yolks and whites are fully combined. Add the garlic powder, salt, and pepper to the eggs and mix well.
- Pour the egg mixture into the bowl with the broccoli, cheese, and almond flour. Stir everything together until all the ingredients are well combined and form a cohesive dough.
- Using your hands or a spoon, scoop out portions of the mixture and form them into small, rectangular shapes or "dunkers." Place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each Dunker for even cooking.
- Once all the Dunkers are shaped and placed on the baking sheet, pop them in the preheated oven and bake for about 15 minutes, or until they are golden brown and firm to the touch.
- After baking, remove the Dunkers from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet. This will help them firm up a bit more.
- Serve the Broccoli Cheddar Dunkers warm, with your favorite dipping sauce or enjoy them as a snack on their own. They can be stored in the refrigerator for a few days and reheated as needed.
Tips
- Chop the broccoli finely to ensure even distribution and a smoother texture.
- Use freshly shredded cheddar cheese for the best melting and flavor.
- Make sure to press the mixture firmly when shaping to help the dunkers hold together.
- For extra crispiness, you can lightly spray the dunkers with olive oil before baking.
- Let the dunkers cool slightly before serving to help them set and maintain their shape.
- Experiment with different cheese varieties like sharp cheddar or pepper jack for unique flavor profiles.
- These dunkers are great for meal prep – they can be stored in the refrigerator and quickly reheated in the oven or air fryer.
- Serve with a low-carb dipping sauce like ranch or sriracha mayo for an extra flavor kick!
