Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: Keto
Serves: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups broccoli florets, steamed
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup almond flour
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the steamed broccoli florets and shredded cheddar cheese. Use a fork or a potato masher to break the broccoli into smaller pieces, ensuring it mixes well with the cheese.
- In a separate bowl, crack the two large eggs and whisk them together until well combined. Add the almond flour, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to the eggs, and mix until you have a smooth batter.
- Pour the egg mixture over the broccoli and cheese mixture. Stir everything together until all the ingredients are evenly coated and well combined.
- Using a spoon or cookie scoop, portion out the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, forming small bite-sized balls or patties. Make sure to leave some space between each bite to allow for even cooking.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 15 minutes, or until the bites are golden brown and firm to the touch.
- Once cooked, remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the bites cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your Keto Broccoli Cheddar Bites warm or at room temperature!
Tips
- Pro Tips for Perfect Keto Broccoli Cheddar Bites: • Steam your broccoli until just tender to maintain the right moisture level • Pat the steamed broccoli dry to prevent excess water in your bites • Use freshly shredded cheddar for the best melting and flavor • Don't overcrowd the baking sheet - give each bite space to crisp up • For extra crispiness, you can broil for 1-2 minutes at the end of cooking • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days • Reheat in an air fryer or oven to maintain their crispy texture • Experiment with different cheese varieties like sharp cheddar or pepper jack for variety
